About Us
The LA-based post-punk/alt. Rock band Girlfiend is fronted by Comet, a gender non-conforming visual artist born in London. Girlfiend is a girl band and comprised of all femme presenting members: Danielle, Angelica, Baby and Comet.
The Riot Grrrl Rock movement and sound, mixed with a bit of Comet’s own demonic/vampiric elven aesthetic are what inspire Girlfiend's strong visuals and dissonant sound. Girlfiend is an ideal mix of her love of performance art and dirty rock and roll. Girlfiend’s sound lives in a dark space that is at once luscious, grimey, jagged, and beautiful. Most importantly to all band members is creating Queer Girl Band music that is as revolutionary as it is contagiously listenable.
Their debut album, Nature, Love, and Anger is a piece that Comet started writing in 2016. The lyrics chronicle her late teen years as someone who is queer and lonely in Los Angeles. These 11 songs often evoke sadness, angst, and violence, but have catharsis as their ultimate goal. “I was mad at the world, but I was more mad at myself.” says Comet when asked about how she felt when writing the album.
