Lambrini Girls are a Brighton-based punk trio made up of Phoebe (vocals/guitar), Lilly (bass) and their tongue-in-cheek credited drummer “Banksy.” Known for their confrontational humour, riot-grrrl spirit and politically charged energy, Lambrini Girls have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most explosive live acts. Their debut album WHO LET THE DOGS OUT cements their arrival with snarling guitars, biting satire and unapologetic feminist fury. Blending chaos with sharp social commentary, the band channel the spirit of Bikini Kill while carving out a distinctly modern, Brighton-bred identity.
“Cult of Celebrity” is a blistering takedown of fame culture and hollow idol worship. Fueled by jagged riffs and frantic rhythm, the track skewers the obsession with influencers, fame-hungry personalities and the commodification of identity. Phoebe’s delivery is equal parts sarcastic and savage, turning the spotlight back on a society addicted to validation. Fast, loud and razor-edged, the song captures Lambrini Girls at their most ferocious — punk as protest and party at once.
Why it is trending: With their debut album WHO LET THE DOGS OUT now out, “Cult of Celebrity” is gaining attention as one of its most pointed and punchy statements. The band’s reputation for chaotic live shows and sharp political wit is fueling buzz across UK alternative circles. As conversations around celebrity culture and online identity continue to dominate, the track’s message feels especially timely — and impossible to ignore.
