LAMBRINI GIRLS, WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

29 minutes and 27 seconds was all it took for Lambrini Girls to win me over with their debut album, Who Let The Dogs Out. That’s also about the max I could handle before its unrelenting energy laid me out. With distorted basslines, blistering guitar riffs, and hammering drums, Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira don’t just play punk—they pummel you with it. But beneath the mayhem, Lunny’s sharp, biting lyricism keeps everything focused, fusing humor and fury to take on toxic masculinity, police brutality, gentrification, and homophobia. The result is an album that’s unapologetically loud, unyielding, darkly funny, and impossible to ignore.
