About the artist:
Twin sisters Phoenix (She/They) and Mercedes Arn-Horn (She/Her) have been making music
together since they were barely teenagers. Cutting their teeth in the local scene of Kitchener,
Ontario helped them find their feet but because it was dominated by blokes, they were often left
feeling like the odd ones out. Later, when they started touring further afield, the pair were
exposed to how “misogynistic the music industry really was”. Tired of biting their tongues,
putting up with relentless sexism as well as realising they weren’t the only ones having to deal
with it, Softcult sees the pair biting back. As their debut single promises, “something’s got to
change”.
