Gun-Shy Butterfly melds sugary harmonies and urgent hooks with fuzzed-out guitars for a tough and tuneful sensibility evoking the 1990s alt-rock, grunge, and Riot Grrrl scenes, especially bands like Veruca Salt, L7, The Breeders, and Bleach-era Nirvana. Julie Exter and Andrea White pen lyrics that are intelligent and incendiary, smoldering with social commentary and justified anger. Both musicians are multi-instrumentalists with well-developed songwriting sensibilities. Their Philadelphia-based two-piece band steps forward with its debut EP Uncomplicated, featuring the lead-off single Dark Side.
For many artists, creativity is a lifeline – an instinct as natural as breathing. But what happens when that instinct collides with the all consuming, unpredictable, deeply transformative experience of parenthood? In this candid conversation, Andrea and Julie of Gun-Shy Butterfly open up about the beautiful, chaotic reality of being both musicians and mothers.
Gun-Shy Butterfly also offers something refreshingly rare in the current music landscape: a voice of women in midlife who are still making, growing and loudly refusing to disappear.
