about

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.

As such, Katie’s style of music isn’t easy to categorise, and she wouldn’t want it any other way. Her passionate delivery, thought provoking lyricism and raucous live shows have captivated audiences far and wide. Indeed, since her first proper punk show at the New Cross Inn in 2018, she's played with the likes of b, Spanish Love Songs, Pkew Pkew Pkew, Chris Farren, Lightyear, Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun and Lauran Hibberd.

With two EP’s already under her belt - 2018’s Learning How to Lie and 2019’s Everything Trouble Meant - the worldwide pandemic halted momentum. Using the time to write and demo a collection of songs, Katie had created the bones of her debut album, False Starts, Open Endings.

The record embodies Katie’s punk sensibilities while showcasing her literate, earnest songwriting. This is 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’.

False Starts, Open Endings is a record that takes no prisoners exploring a plethora of topics including the dire state of UK politics and patriarchal issues to past relationships and the joy she finds in her DIY community.

False Starts, Open Endings is a diverse album characterised by Katie’s rowdy guitar and uncompromising lyrics and accented beautifully by the driven yet jazz-tinged drums of Tobias Alexandar and top-notch production of Nick Harris.
