Canadian rockers Miesha & The Spanks have shared their first new single since the 2018 release “Girls Girls Girls“. The track titled “The Girls Are O.K.”, which premiered on Aesthetic Magazine is now streaming on Spotify, SoundCloud & wherever else you get your music.
Girls Girls Girls was a wild ride. It saw the band across Canada and overseas to the UK. It hit #1 on the national Earshot Loud charts, with singles “Summer Love” at #1 on the Indigenous Music Countdown, and “Atmosphere” #7 on CBC R3-30. It also just won Rock Recording Of The Year and Single Of The Year at the YYC Music Awards.
The band comment: “I wrote “The Girls Are O.K.” while in my third trimester this summer, expecting twins— no idea what their gender would be. At the same time I was scheduling this year’s Girls Rock Camp in Calgary.
The whole thing got me thinking about these strong, weird, cool girls that I get to work with every year and watch grow, and how if I ended up with two baby girls, I wouldn’t be worried about or for them at all, because the girls from camp were already light years ahead of where I was at their age.
They’re so brave and they already know they don’t have to take any bullshit— something I learned much later in life. They’re going to be more than okay – they’re going to be great.
To put a bow on it, I had this year’s Girls Rock Camp Calgary contribute backing vocals to the song, highlighting the driving force behind my inspiration. Of course, there’s still struggle, and lots wrong with gender divisions and privilege. But, it’s nice to take a step back from that struggle and look at how it’s affected the younger generations.
It makes me really proud. I hope you enjoy!”
