Fresh off announcing their new album Don’t Care. Didn’t Ask., feminist punk powerhouse Cheap Perfume is excited to share their new single “Okay Party”. You can check it out below.
“The go-go-go rush of ‘Okay Party’ is a frantic memory of how it felt when our van broke down in Arizona last year and we had to play Berkeley that night.," says vocalist/guitarist Jane No about the song. "But more than that, it’s about the highs and lows of being in a band together for 10 years, sharing small spaces, the silly antics we pull, getting onstage even when you’d rather be in your comfort zone, and the homicidal thoughts we sometimes have about each other.”
Cheap Perfume isn't here to politely ask for your attention—they're taking it, champagne in hand. Formed in Colorado in 2015, this feminist punk powerhouse delivers razor-sharp riffs and unapologetically political lyrics wrapped in a glittering explosion of riot grrrl energy. Fronted by Stephanie Byrne (vocals) and Jane No (guitar/vocals), with Geoff Brent on bass and David "Hott Dave" Grimm on drums, Cheap Perfume is the sound of dismantling oppression while having a good time.
Their debut album, Nailed It (2016), threw punches at sexism, street harassment, and the absurdity of the Trump era, while Burn It Down (2019) blasted white supremacy, championed intersectional feminism and gave us the anti-fascist anthem “It’s Okay to Punch Nazis.” Now, Cheap Perfume returns angrier than ever with their upcoming third album, Don't Care. Didn't Ask., set for release in fall 2025. Its infectious hooks amplify themes of capitalist exploitation, class solidarity, and the need for direct action and mutual aid as fascism tightens its grip in America.
With their incendiary live shows known for their community spirit and zero tolerance for bullshit, Cheap Perfume has cemented their place as one of the most vital voices in punk. Don't Care. Didn't Ask. isn't just a record—it's a rallying cry. Join the resistance; bring a bottle.
Don’t Care. Didn’t Ask. is set to be released on October 3rd via Snappy Little Numbers.
