Brighton’s Lambrini Girls aren’t here to play nice. With their debut album Who Let The Dogs Out, the noise-punk duo of Phoebe Lunny (vocals/guitar) and Lilly Macieira (bass) have crafted a ferocious, unapologetic manifesto against modern societal ills, delivered with razor-sharp humor and enough raw energy to power a small city. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox, with mixing by Seth Manchester (Mdou Moctar, Battles, Model/Actriz), the album is equal parts adrenaline and insight - a fiery soundtrack for an increasingly chaotic world.

Opening with the blistering “Bad Apple,” the album sets the tone immediately: sirens scream, basslines distort, and Lunny delivers a searing indictment of police violence, tackling racism, institutional corruption, and systemic oppression. It’s a blistering punch to the gut, capturing the duo’s ethos of addressing the big issues head-on without losing their characteristic spark of irreverence.

And Lambrini Girls aren't content to stick to one corner of punk’s sprawling map either. They veer from gritty grunge tones to the infectious pulse of noise-pop, dipping into discordant post-punk along the way. Tracks like “Company Culture” and “Big Dick Energy” are as catchy as they are caustic, turning workplace harassment and toxic masculinity into sing-along anthems with biting wit and relentless riffs. Meanwhile, the deeply personal “Special Different” and the venomous “Filthy Rich Nepo Baby” showcase the duo’s ability to balance personal introspection with societal critique.

The album’s humor doesn’t dilute its message - it enhances it. Whether they’re skewering pop culture on “Nothing Tastes As Good As It Feels” or gleefully embracing life’s messy moments on the noise-pop cheer “Cuntology 101,” Lunny and Macieira know how to deliver their truths in ways that feel as fun as they are impactful.

The duo’s chaotic yet deliberate creative process mirrors the album’s frenetic energy. Written in short bursts and fueled by a cocktail of determination and a literal liquor cabinet of inspiration, Who Let The Dogs Out channels the unfiltered intensity of their live shows. “Because we had such little time, I had to let these songs be what they wanted to be,” Macieira explains. “It’s raw and instinctive, just like us.”

Beyond the humor and noise lies a moment of poignant reflection with an interlude featuring the voices of activists Kwame Ture and Angela Davis. Their words anchor the album’s central themes, connecting the dots between capitalism, classism, and systemic oppression. It’s a brief but powerful pause before the chaos resumes, reminding listeners of the serious undercurrent driving Lambrini Girls’ fearless sound.
