Femegades Unleash Their Powerful ‘Sex Robots’ EP: A Dystopian Punk Rock Manifesto
If there’s one thing that Femegades aren’t afraid to do, it’s to shake things up. Their latest EP, Sex Robots, is a bold exploration of a dystopian reality that feels all too close to home. Packed with raw energy and unapologetic lyrics, this punk/pop/alt-rock soundtrack doesn’t just entertain—it challenges societal norms and expectations head-on.
The standout track, “No Sex Robots”, almost serves as the title track and encapsulates the EP’s thematic core. It’s a rebellious anthem against a future where women are expected to embrace a male-dominated technological revolution that threatens to erase their humanity. The track’s infectious energy and defiant lyrics make it impossible to ignore.
Femegades’ aim? To amplify their message and reach as many ears as possible with their unapologetic blend of punk attitude and rock melodies.
What happens when a guitarist decides to write the most brazen rock song he can think of? In Pembroke Tenneson’s case, the answer is “Sex Appeal”.
The title says plenty, but the song goes considerably further. Tenneson throws himself into a world of self-praise and outrageous confidence, with one boast following another. It is cheeky stuff, but there is a real affection for the music behind the joke.
Tenneson has talked about his love of the early-1970s rock sound that inspired the track, and that comes across in the attitude of the performance. He is not trying to make the song subtle. He wants the guitars, vocals and lyrics to have some swagger.
The best thing about “Sex Appeal” is that the humour never takes over completely. There is a brilliant rock song underneath all the showing off, and Tenneson clearly cares about making it sound authentic as well as making people smile.
That makes this an appealing introduction to his forthcoming material. “Sex Appeal” is the first of 14 original songs he has been developing, so there is plenty more on the way to look forward to.
For now, though, Tenneson has picked an entertaining way to reintroduce himself as an artist. “Sex Appeal” has attitude, a catchy refrain and enough cheek to make it stand out. Stream below (via Now Listen):
