i interviewed heavens to betsy about their unexpected reunion tour & great upcoming archival LP for the guardian ! this was corin tucker’s band before sleater-kinney. we talked about the clarity of youth, transforming through writing, feminist revenge, olympia, and a wild cross-country train trip they took as teenagers to “study” the athens scene. i think the moral of the story is that lying about having a band is a way of manifesting one. heavens to betsy is basically hardcore to me. this was super energizing & meaningful to me to get to work on — some excerpts collected here, the last quote is from the cutting room floor

thank you @modraucous for the 7 & demo !! 🙏

PETTY CRIME: BRIGHTON, UK, 1999 7” /// New on JABS/Raw Sugar Records /// Petty Crime was a UK band that existed for a few years at the end of the 1990s. Sharp, breathless, and petulant, they released one EP on Slampt in 1998: five songs that strung a tightrope between the bratty defiance of riot grrrl and the taut shove of postpunk. In 1999, Petty Crime recorded three songs in a Brighton bedroom, a melodic and prickly blast that is somehow both deliberate and wild. The songs are strange, unpredictable, and urgent. They are outraged. If the Slampt 7” is a tense warning about the world we live in, these songs are a furious counterstrike at this world, all crash and frenzy and twinned voices raised in defiance. The sole cassette of this recording was transferred and mastered by Fred Thomas in 2024, and now available for anyone in need of a total insurrection sound.

Petty Crime is Layla Gibbon (Skinned Teen, girlSperm) and Helen White (Modessa, Squids).

Petty Crime: Brighton, UK, 1999 is co-released by Raw Sugar Records (New Orleans) and JABS (Rochester NY) in an edition of 300 copies with color cover and color insert
