Release Date Friday 2nd October 2026

Marking their first new material of 2026, Alien Chicks are back with a glorious
new EP 'Toys Taken At Birth' - available on CD as well as gloriously limited
glow in the dark vinyl (strictly limited to 500 copies ever in this version), with
recent standout Live EP 'Live At The Windmill' included on the B Side
'Toys Taken at Birth' is about the injustice that leaves some people with everything
and some with nothing.
Power doesn't present itself cleanly; it leaks through spectacle and symbolism - flags
appearing overnight on high streets, headlines flipping within hours, slogans that feel
less like belief and more like control tactics nobody agreed to. Even everyday life
starts to feel slightly repurposed, like familiar things have been quietly reassigned for
a different agenda.
The songs on the EP sit inside that pressure rather than observing it. They move
through frustration, satire and escalation, where authority gets exaggerated into
something almost grotesque, but still recognisably real. Language starts to buckle
under repetition, meaning gets worn down by exposure, and everything feels like it's
happening at you rather than around you.
And then they do a Missy Elliott cover. Cos you might as well get your freak on!
Tracks: Madmen / Now I'm Big / 5/4 / I Killed Uncle Ben / Get Your Freak On /
Steve Buscemi - Live at The Windmill / Babe - Live at The Windmill / Cowboy - Live at
