Today Cardiff-based noisepop group Joanna Gruesome announced a 7″ split with Syracuse’s noise punks Perfect Pussy. The release comes packaged in a 24-page comic book, illustrated by cartoonist Phil McAndrew (brother of Perfect Pussy’s guitarist Ray McAndrew). The heroine in McAndrew’s comic is a combination of Joanna Gruesome front woman Alanna McArdle and Meredith Graves of Perfect Pussy, who battles misogynists, online trolls, and haters everywhere.

Both bands have got new tracks from this release up for your listening pleasure:
