Punk band

Frau Origin London, England Genres Punk, hardcore Label Static Shock Members Ashley Holland Colette Rosa Paula Darias Núria Website https://fraupunk.bandcamp.com/

**Frau** is an all-female [hardcore punk](/source/Hardcore_punk) band from London, England.[1] *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* magazine named them one of "20 All-Female Bands You Need To Know"; rock critic Maria Sherman compares their sound to [Bikini Kill](/source/Bikini_Kill).[2] The punkzine *[Maximumrocknroll](/source/Maximumrocknroll)* describes the band's highly charged and frantic sound as equal to the flippant swagger of [Teenage Jesus and the Jerks](/source/Teenage_Jesus_and_the_Jerks).[3] Ashley Holland of the band, who also plays with Personnel and [Good Throb](/source/Good_Throb), states that Frau seldom plays with other hardcore bands because the hardcore punk scene does not take female musicians seriously.[4] In addition to Holland, the other members of the band are Colette Rosa who sings in queercore punk band [Woolf](/source/Woolf_(band)), Paula and Núria who also played in the Barcelona band Las Timidas. The band's sound has been noted for the use of intense distortion with powerful, forceful vocals.[5]

## Recordings

Their debut EP, *Punk is my Boyfriend*, was released by [Static Shock Records](/source/Static_Shock_Records) in 2014; and *Mira* was released in 2015.[1][6]
