Manager 05:18
Watching mother put on makeup Before father even wakes up And she takes the kids to school And she follows all the rules And she never speaks her mind She is kind And she is obedient She reads his mind But he never reads hers She is kind And she is obedient She reads his mind, But he never learns And they’ll get you when you’re young And you’ll never be enough For the world of men For the world of men For the world of men Drowned our Barbies Dug for worms Skinned our knees And never learned We don’t want to be your good girls You grow up and things get hard Your body’s foreign and large And other people are in charge of you She is kind and she is obedient She reads his mind but he never reads hers And they’ll get you when you’re young And you’ll never be enough For the world of men For the world of men For the world of men You say I look good with my hair down With my hair down With my hair down You talked over me at the meeting At the meeting At the meeting You asked me to see my manager My manager My manager You don’t know that I am the manager I am the manager I am the manager You think my voice sounds sexy Sounds sexy Sounds sexy How did you get my number? I don’t know you I don’t know you I don’t know you I don’t know you

Red Sea 04:06
Woke up early and I'm feeling fine Got the day off it’s all mine It’s all mine It’s all mine It’s all mine It’s all mine So I grab my shoes and I head for the door All I have is this one little chore So I head for the market Oh no! Oh no! I feel it coming on Oh Shoot! Oh Darn! And I don’t have a tampon It’s okay it’s alright If I can have some ice cream tonight I want ice cream So I grab my pads and some Gushers too If you don’t mess with me I don’t mess with you Cause this is my couch Oh no! Oh no! I feel it coming on Oh Shoot! Oh Darn! And I don’t have a tampon Gonna watch Star Trek till I die Picard is my lover everything else is a lie You sit down next to me and say It’ll be alright I shed my uterine lining like I shed my tears The depths of my pussy hold your darkest fears You think I’m cute now Try going down on me I’ll drown you while you part the red sea

about

Cat Valley started in 2016 when songwriters Whitney Flinn and Abby Hegge met playing the same house show and were moved to tears by each other's music. With a borrowed amp, a toy drum kit, and a newfound friendship, they began writing songs together. Cat Valley’s music focuses on Abby and Whitney’s experiences as queer women growing up, navigating love and friendship, and playing music in a male-dominated industry.

Feral shows a tighter, more grown-up version of Cat Valley. With Melanie Sehman on drums and Kristen Stanovich on bass, the band steps up the volume and intensity from their self-titled EP. The songs seamlessly weave together pop sensibility with punk lyrics, harkening back to 90’s alternative rock with a surf twist. While it tackles topics similar to Cat Valley’s previous EP, there’s new intention and depth across Feral that shows how far the group has come, showcasing their ability to pack a punch, both lyrically and musically.

These are songs that are meant to be sung out loud with your friends or alone in your car. From the noisy drone outro of “Red Sea” to the anthemic rock chorus of “Dive Bar Fight Song”, Feral showcases the raw power and chemistry within Cat Valley, as the group continues to evolve and grow.
