Royal Ratbags are a Northern Rivers–based all-female new-wave punk rock band bringing raw power, wit, and wild charisma to Australia’s underground scene. The lineup — Allie (vocals), Gemma (bass), Barclay (drums), Nic (guitar), and Grace (guitar) — forms a compelling curation of feminine force, channeling chaos, charm, and rebellion in equal measure.
Self-described as “dirty charm,” Royal Ratbags fuse gritty guitars, thundering basslines, and an unfiltered sense of humour to create a sound that’s both fierce and intoxicating. In their short time together, they’ve already shared stages with MINI SKIRT, COFFIN, GUT HEALTH, and BAD//DREEMS, solidifying their reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting punk voices. Every performance feels like a riot and a revelation — equal parts fury, freedom, and fun.
“Supermarket Woman” finds Royal Ratbags turning the mundane into the magnificent — a raucous, witty anthem that captures both the humour and heartbreak of daily life. Beneath its sharp edges and crashing rhythm lies a clever commentary on identity, routine, and the quiet acts of rebellion that keep us sane. With Allie’s commanding vocals and the band’s signature punch, the song delivers catharsis with a wink — proving that even fluorescent aisles can be a stage for empowerment.
It’s loud, clever, and full of bite — Royal Ratbags at their unapologetic best. “Supermarket Woman” transforms everyday monotony into a battle cry for authenticity — proof that punk is still the voice of the unfiltered and the unbreakable.
