As evidenced by the title, the fuzz-bass-driven track puts kids’ bodily autonomy front and centre, unapologetically. <\/p>\n
Riot Baby (made up of four parent-kid duos Erica and John Cheong-Holdaway, Sylvie and Ros Jones, Otto Anticich and Kirri B\u00fcchler, and Will Hopkins-Bartsch and Jeremy Hopkins) was formed in 2019 by founding members Cat and John. Their origins were in crafting punk versions of Australian kids books, and now they’re covering things like late-stage capitalism, pandemics, disasters, bullies, and big feelings. <\/p>\n
Cat is now based in France \u2013 with John and daughter Erica bringing in a new line-up to keep the band rocking. <\/p>\n
They wrote the new track in early 2024, not long before a noticeable uptick in public misogyny. <\/p>\n
\u201c’My Body My Choice’ was the first time Erica and I had written the full lyrics to a Riot Baby song,\u201d John Cheong-Holdaway says. \u201cCat (who wrote all of the lyrics to our first songs, and Rohan who wrote ‘Did You Bring Your Jumper’ were so good, we didn\u2019t feel the need to, but with a new band, we felt like we had to show them how it was done!\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe music was meant to be Gut Health meets Hearts And Rockets.\u201d<\/p>\n
