mydolls’ “speak softly and carry a big stick” re-released on bandcamp

We’re proud to announce that CIA has re-released the EP, Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick - an epic collection of Mydolls music from 1983. This includes World of Her Own, which the band performed in a cameo appearance in the Wim Wenders film, Paris, Texas. It also features a live version of Rape of a Culture, recorded at JB's in Kent, Ohio, along with rarely-heard tracks like Christmas Day, Please No Mary, and 21st Century Compliments, all fully-charged, feminist and fierce.

(Mydolls are one of Houston’s earliest punk bands, nearly all female, and still performing today. Read more about them here or visit the band’s website at https://www.mydollsmusic.com/.)

Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick is now available digitally… or, buy an original vinyl EP copy, extremely rare and still in shrink wrap on CIA’s Bandcamp page!
