‘Confidence Crisis’ is the latest single to be released by punk-folk singer songwriter Katie MF. A jangling rock ballad, the single showcases Katie’s wistful, personal lyrics while exhibiting her own, unique vulnerabilities to the world.
The song follows on from the successful release of singles Work Drinks and Japanese Whiskey, both of which were well received by the likes of Punktatsic, The Punk Site, Joyzine, Original Rock, For The Rabbits, Listen With Monger and many more.
Katie MF is a singer, guitarist and songwriter who embraces the anti-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, do-it-yourself ethic of punk rock, effortlessly combining this with the socially conscious storytelling associated with folk music.
Creating a style of music that isn’t easy to categorise, Katie’s passionate delivery, thought provoking lyricism and rowdy live shows have captivated audiences far and wide. This has led to slots playing alongside the likes of Frank Turner, Spanish Love Songs, Pkew Pkew Pkew, Chris Farren, Lightyear, Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun and Lauran Hibberd.
Singles Confidence Crisis, Work Drinks and Japanese Whiskey perfectly showcase what False Starts, Open Endings has to offer; a record that embodies Katie’s punk sensibilities while laying bare her literate, earnest songwriting. This is further illustrated by the foot stomping vibrancy of opening track ‘Lucky MF’, written in the aftermath of a freak car accident where a chunk of metal crashed through the windscreen narrowly missing Katie’s head, to the bittersweet love ballad of ‘August Arrived’.
