‘You know I’d break my head open, just for you.’

Electroclash, punk duo Fake Dad just released their latest single, ‘Third Degree’ and it’s a banger. Giving Le Tigre and Tegan & Sara energy it shares that same bratty vocal delivery, with a clattering drum beat.

Singer Andrea de Varona shared, “We really wanted to make a 2000s-inspired club jam that still had the angsty, Riot Grrrl-esque energy that has been at the forefront of Fake Dad’s performance and writing style over the past couple of years. This time, though, rather than going for all angst, all yell we wanted the crux of the song to circle back to something really vulnerable. So yes, I’m this anti-establishment, ‘calling out the man’ baddie, but also I want to be seen, and I want to be loved for all the parts of me. And the realization that maybe the nuance of my inner world makes me kind of messy and insane. Like I want to be untouchable but also really want to let my guard down and be accepted. And at the end of the day, who doesn’t feel a little crazy when it comes to love and relationships?”

The LA-based pair will play Santa Monica Pier 360 Fest this June before headlining The Echo in July.
