“A propulsive, immediate sound that draws from a wealth of rock influences” - London in Stereo

Luxembourg-based, Canadian-American duo Francis of Delirium return in a blaze of anger on fiery new single “Equality Song.” Funded by Luxembourg’s Ministry of Equality to celebrate 100 years of women’s voting, “Equality Song,” finds 19-year-old Jana Bahrich railing against the systems that deny women justice in the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.  

“The song was written mainly out of anger, at how absurd it is that sexual abuse is so normalized, and the systems that are in place just essentially shit on anyone that comes forward with their story,” explains Bahrich.

Their most epic song to date, Bahrich sings with the urgency of someone desperate to break free from the shackles of patriarchy, her fury reflected in the thrashing guitars and driving percussion.

“The Brett Kavanaugh hearings had just happened and then every week it felt like another story came out and it seemed like no-one cared. You grow up learning to be skeptical of other people and spend a lot of time in fear of the people around you. So, the song is meant to be lashing out about how broken structures and systems are."

First appearing back in January with the instantaneous “Quit Fucking Around,” Francis of Delirium have caught attention for their powerful sound merging 90s grunge and millennial indie folk. Indeed, their debut EP All Change which followed “Quit Fucking Around” won praise from all corners with acclaim from the likes of ClashThe Line of Best Fit and London in Stereo

Arriving on Bandcamp a week before it reaches streaming platforms, all proceeds from digital downloads will go to Femmes en Detresse - a Luxembourg domestic abuse charity that provides protection and therapy.

Now back on-stage playing shows through Luxembourg and Germany, Francis of Delirium are set to release another EP this winter.
