Plus, Christine was kind enough to treat us to a live recording of a new track.

In a world first, this episode of women who rock was recorded in London. I was delighted to catch up with Ola Herbich, who both runs her own punk/hardcore label, Quality Control HQ, and plays in loads of bands in London.

We spoke about the nature of punk and hardcore music, the potential impact of Brexit on British subcultures, and why Marshall amps are the best amps.

You can check out all the music released on Quality Control HQ here (qualitycontrolhq.bigcartel.com)

And listen to the new Game LP, ‘No One Wins’ here (qualitycontrolhq.bandcamp.com/album/no-one-wins)
