Post-punk four-piece girl band Chastity Belt release the video for their anti-slut shaming anthem ‘Cool Slut’.\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Having found one another in a tiny college town in Eastern Washington, four-piece post-punk girl band, Chastity Belt, is made up of Julia Shapiro, Lydia Lund (guitars), Annie Truscott (bass) and Gretchen Grimm (drums). Building a reputation upon DIY foundations, to rave review, it’s no surprise their debut album No Regerts\u00a0<\/em>(see what they did there?) sold out in a flash, taking them on a much praised tour of America.<\/p>\n

Fast forward two years and the girls are back with a new album\u00a0Time To Go Home,\u00a0<\/em>charted for release May 11. Goofy, cute and kitsch in equal measure, the somewhat crude lyrics that accompany their jagged rhythms, speak to our generation on more level than one.<\/p>\n

Today they release a low-tech video to accompany their anti-slut shaming anthem ‘Cool Slut’. Signing about how girls get all dressed up, just to get dressed back down Chastity Belt share their message of acceptance with the world: “To all the girls in the world, trying to take off their shirts, ladies it’s okay to be… it’s okay to be slutty.”<\/p>\n

Frolicking on the beach and in the park before chin-chining glasses of wine around a kitchen table, the girls front an array of gaudy cardigans and mom-jeans that would give\u00a0Saved by the Bell’s\u00a0<\/em>Kelly Kapowski a run for her money.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the video for ‘Cool Slut’ and remember, ladies, it’s okay to be slutty.<\/p>\n
