The Pill

The Pill, a female punk duo with incredible energy from the Isle of Wight, is led by singers and guitarists Lily Hutchings and Lottie Massey, with Rufus Reader joining them on drums. Described as ‘a kick in the teeth (in a good way),’ The Pill delivers ‘jank’ punk songs full of attitude and raw, unfiltered chaos. Since their inception in 2019, this playful duo hasn’t taken itself too seriously – they are masters at turning awkward and absurd life moments into wild anthems that speak directly to the crowd, inviting them to dance and have fun. Most of their lyrics could make you think twice before playing them for your dad. Their highly praised debut single, ‘Bale of Hay,’ is a fierce and witty grunge-pop track about the struggles of being blonde. The song went viral upon release, accumulating over 50,000 streams online.
