Sleep Deprived Music Review: Big Joanie

Big Joanie is a British feminist punk band, which includes band members
Stephanie Phillips, Chardine Taylor-Stone and Estella Adeyeri.

The quote that Big Joanie has about themselves is very accurate:
We’re like The Ronettes filtered through 80s DIY and riot grrrl with a sprinkling of dashikis.

In November 2018, Big Joanie released their album, Sistahs. I’ve been following the band on Facebook for several months. So whenever I get distracted by all of male rock bands, they seem to pop up on the newsfeed — like they know I need some feminist punk music in my life.

Trust me. We all need feminist punk bands like Big Joanie in our lives. I’m always so happy when the members of a punk band are talented musicians and songwriters. I find Big Joanie to be rather charming and intoxicating. My favorite songs on the Sistahs album are “How Could You Love Me” and “Cut Your Hair.”

Please do yourself a favor and check out their music!
