War On Women will release a new album Time Under Tension on Smartpunk Records on May 8th.
Time Under Tension finds fluidity and inspiration from both the personally mundane and politically insane, dissecting the impact of the outside world on one’s inside world, how our perspectives can alter our perception of the world, and what that interpersonal relationship with the outside looks like.
On the new track Serve, vocalist Shawna Potter shared the following:
"What if we knew we had more in common than they want us to believe? What if we knew they were trying to divide us and acted accordingly. What if we didn’t act like cops to each other?"
About "Precious Problem":
"This is about intimate partner violence, in response to some high=profile cases that were going on at the time and some situations that were closer to home. It references how addiction and alcohol can sometimes play a role in abuse and violence. I have sympathy for people struggling with addiction, and things like harm reduction and transformative justice are really important to me, but that struggle does not excuse anyone from being violent. I was definitely pulling from my experience of attending (virtual) group meetings for friends and family of alcoholics, which was invaluable to me at the time."
