Brenda received a passing mention earlier this year, with the inclusion of this song on the February mix tape:-
fiktiv was quite taken by the song, and wanted to know more. Here goes…..from their Bandcamp page
BRENDA is Apsi, Litty, Flore_ Drums, guitar, synth_ Tunes_ Glasgow_ post-punk_ dream-pop_ agit-noise_ party music_BRENDA is every woman you’ve ever seen, met, smelled, heard, enjoyed, feared, laughed at, fancied, ran towards, tasted, thought about, taken money from, written to, texted, ignored, followed, drank with, watched from afar, wished you knew, regretted falling out with.
The full names of the three members are Litty Hughes (guitar, bass, synth, lead and backing vocals), Apsi Witana (drums, lead and backing vocals) and Flore de Hoog ( synths, lead and backing vocals). They are from the DIY end of things, making a name for themselves primarily through a reputation for being a great and fun act to watch, as they played every small sized venue imaginable across Glasgow. Last Night From Glasgow made an offer to record and issue their debut album, which was recorded in less than a week and released in July 2023. They decided to call it Brenda.
It’s a great listen. Eight songs with a running time of less than 24 minutes. Think Riot Grrrl with pop hooks and synths.

I’m hoping there will be new music from them soon.
