Following on from their much-loved debut single 'Postcards' last year, Irish trio Adore are back on the scene once again to deliver their explosive new single 'Supermum!'
Adopting more of that frenzied garage-punk aesthetic they are known for, 'Supermum!' makes for a fun and ferocious return for them. With its blistering hooks, soaring atmosphere, and stellar riffs layered throughout, they continue to ascend as one of the more exciting names doing the rounds right now.
Speaking more on the song, the band's Lara Minchin said, "Supermum! tells the tale of moments where power is lost due to the conditioning of others stronger than you. The lyrics come from my perspective of being raised as a quiet and polite young woman and how as I grew older, it became increasingly more obvious to me that I never learned how to say no, and even when I did, some of those around me had never learned how to take no for an answer. The tone of the song is satirical, which mimics the manner in which people talk about stories of assault abuse in their lives as a way to cope with the horror of it. This playful manner in which we talk about these problems shows that although we may be progressing by actually speaking up about assault, it is obvious that the issue at hand occurs so frequently that assault and abuse remains to be normalised. I hope that this song can continue the conversation of education surrounding sexual assault and abuse. I hope for people to feel safe enough to speak up about it. The fact is that sexual violence has remained a normal part of the majority of peoples lives and it shouldn’t be."
