Medea’s back and she’s putting the pulse back in expulsion! The feminist revolution is in full swing, and Medea’s been resurrected by a band of feminist specters who are ready to riot grrrl. In Girl Versus Corinth, there’s nothing that can stop these prominent she-beasts from making their voices heard. With a score of electronic music to back the beltings of these bad bitches gone by, the waves of feminism unite in a tsunami of sound- lending their spirits to the modern fight for equality.
