Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands
The McKinleys, The Ettes, Strawberry Switchblade, Sophisticated Boom Boom, Twinsets, His Latest Flame, Sunset Gun, Lungleg, Pink Kross, Sally Skull, Hello Skinny and The Hedrons.
Ignored by the industry and deprived of the global success afforded to the male-dominated bands of the day, Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands is a celebration of the women and the music of yesteryear, and a rallying cry to the female talent of tomorrow.
Blending personal anecdotes with a scrapbook-style audio-visual aesthetic, Since Yesterday takes you on a decade-by-decade adventure, crafting the ultimate visual mixtape. Discover unheard demos, lost archives, and rare performances that celebrate the Game Changers, Trailblazers, Popstars, Post Punks and Pioneers who never compromised, and subsequently got lost in time.
The film takes a critical look at the barriers women have faced making music in the past, and still face today. It asks how we can inspire young women to make music, if those who do so are continuously erased from our cultural history. Written and narrated by award-nominated musician Carla J. Easton, this is a powerful global story told through a local lens.
“This fascinating documentary highlights a sexist, London-centric music industry” NME
“Carla J. Easton and Blair Young team up to tell a vibrant but enraging story of the great girl bands from Scotland that should be on teenage bedroom walls across the country but aren’t” The Skinny
“a smash hit” The Herald
