A song that hits the mark during Domestic Abuse Awareness Month
For over 15 years, US hardcore punk band War On Women has stood at the frontlines of advocacy, communication, and change, shaping songs in reaction to headlines, news pieces, and current events around intersectional communities with the intention of raising awareness and conveying a response based in humanity rather than division.
Single ‘Precious Problem‘ is their first new music in five years, with more big announcements on the way. On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and during Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, the song also sets the tone for a reinvention and a new beginning for the long-standing powerhouse group.
War On Women‘s lore extends beyond their identities as musicians, making them master storytellers about life. Vocalist Shawna Potter is an author, advocate, and Intimacy Coordinator, guitarist Brooks Harlan designs and fabricates guitar amps, bassist Sue Werner is a NASA computer scientist, and guitarist Jenarchy is a coordinator at a girls’ rock camp. Drummer Dave Cavalier also fronts heavy psych-rock band Black Lung as a singer/guitarist.
Out NOW on Smartpunk Records, ‘Precious Problem‘ highlights the actions of an abusive partner, and how they seldom take any accountability; “You don’t wanna solve the problem, you just wanna have the problem.” Check out the lyric video:

Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
