Cunting Daughters is the lovechild of an unholy trinity - Linda Blair from the Exorcist, Lydia Lunch and Hüsker Dü. The result is a post post punk/ no-wave assault of songs to purge and placate with a dreamy Xanax core. Cunting Daughters are Ruth McIver (guitar, voicebox, words), RUN LMC (bass, vocals) and  Cameron Potts (drums).

Drawing heavily on influences from new wave and post-punk, Personal Touch linger in melancholy at the edge of the dance floor. James’ vocals tell a desolate and tragic narrative, lamenting lost love and emotional isolation. Combined with driving drum machine patterns, lush synth and arpeggiated melodic phrases, the result is a dark, eerie and catchy form of nostalgic pop, that treads a line somewhere between dread, heartbreak and euphoria. Personal Touch are James Beck and Camryn Rothenbury - two friends living in Melbourne, who have known each other for over 15 years.
