“We just want to reach the people, and connect, you know, it’s ok to be who you are, the weirder, the better.”

After some on brand nonsense from me, Anna Brunner of the upcoming metal act League Of Distortion, drops a reality check so large, it dented my studio floor, which is some feat for a digital interview. LOD have just released a new single called I’m A Bitch and it tackles the gender imbalance in reference to sex and attitudes to women (or rather people) being sexually ‘free’ – since the release of the single, Anna has received a lot of toxic abuse, which is, sadly, to be expected and the very point of the song’s central message. Elsewhere in this really fun chat we learn about how and why LOD came to be and just how important a factor it is for Anna, nee Ace, to get the audience onside with the League. This is part one of two.
