Praise for M(h)aol:

“A vital piece of feminist work, set to staggeringly good punk noise.”Gigwise 10/10

“This is a tune lifted from a debut ep that’s due out October the 29th. Dealing with the issue of misogny and male violence against women.”BBC6 Music, Mary Anne Hobbs

“Clocking in at a brief 1:50, it packs a brief but muscular punch.”Hot Press

“Gritty post-punk with both an important political consciousness and a sense of fun.”NME 100

“Gender Studies is a crystal-clear mission statement from another very exciting band out of Ireland” So Young

“A controlled ambient environment that makes radical socio-political songs such as Laundries, Asking for It and the title track merciless butts to the head.”The Irish Times, 15 Acts For 2022

Debut EP Gender Studies is out now on streaming platforms and vinyl. The Dinked Edition version of the vinyl which was limited to 300 copies sold out in just 36 hours, with the demand for the standard version being more than they were planning to make. It was recorded in just 3 days due to their different locations, and covers topics such as violence against women, and the misogynistic music scene in Ireland and the UK.

Earlier in 2021 they released the single ‘Asking For It’ with an aim to dismantle the external and internal narratives that perpetuate the behaviours behind gender-based violence and victim-blaming. It was shared earlier than planned in light of the Sarah Everard murder, with all profits donated to Women’s Aid Ireland, a charity who aim to end domestic violence against women and children.

M(h)aol have seen support from NME, Rough Trade, BBC6 Music, So Young, Gigwise, Hot Press, The Irish Times, and more.
