Cortney Dixon is South Shields answer to Blondie with her fun garage punk pop’ – Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music
‘I can’t get enough of Cortney Dixon ‘Stop This Party’… I really, really like this track. It’s got hints of Haim and Wolf Alice. The indie guitar pop I just needed tonight on the show.’ – Gemma Bradley, BBC Radio 1 Introducing.
“I’m getting proper Strokes-y vibes on the guitars on that track. Obviously a future indie anthem and a half!’ – Emily Pilbeam, Tom Robinson’s BBC 6 Music Mixtape

TYPICAL GIRLS
We’re a DIY punk band born out of chaos, friendship, and a shared shift at the Grayston Unity. When we got asked to help put together a festival celebrating women and queer artists, — we decided the best response was to start a band.
What we lack in technical skill, we make up for in volume, attitude, and a belief that punk was always meant to be made by people who’ve never been “allowed” to make it. Loud, scrappy, and unapologetically ourselves — this is music made by us, for us, and for anyone else who’s ever been told to wait their turn.
