Surly Grrly is a queercore/protest punk band that likes to have fun while loudly fucking the patriarchy. The band was formed by Medbh McNamara at Earlham College in 2018. Their early shows included a history (and criticism) of the Riot Grrrl movement which combined storytelling, videos, covers, and originals. They were also a staple of a monthly music showcase featuring womxn, trans & non-binary performers.
Surly Grrly is now based in Minneapolis, where they play frequently. Their live shows are filled with rage, passion, and politically-driven lyrics addressing bigotry, queerness, and misogyny. With a satisfyingly raw 80's garage punk sound, Surly Grrly uses catchy hooks and tempo changes to rile up a crowd, mixing originals with a variety of classic punk rock covers. The band’s current members are vocalist/guitarist Medbh McNamara, guitarist/vocalist Eloïse Boigenzahn, bassist Lou Levy & drummer Peter Korhonen.
