“An artist is here to reflect on the times,” explains DragonFroot. “Representation of POC is very important; it saves lives and I wouldn’t be an artist if I didn’t represent that. It is also simply me. That being said, our music isn’t always political and that is okay because it can be very draining mentally for it to be. We just wanna jam out and have our QPOC jam out too and be able to have fun, but still look up and be like ‘They look like us, that’s awesome!’”

"I suppose that on this record a lot of what I was thinking about was people who are targeted or stigmatized for their bodies in all different kind of ways, having this inconvenient body. Yet somehow that’s where I still wanted it to be like, somehow, that’s where power is located and found."

"A lot of what I do creatively is to heal my inner child...I'm trying to be the adult in her life that she needed. She didn't have any sort of heroes that looked like her or adults in her life that truly understood her. Stone Cold Steve, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Buffy weren't saving sad, nerdy black girls no matter how much I looked up to them."

“Man, just like the entire world, the Brazilian northeast is still pretty sexist. At the same time, in Maceió, I’ve never seen so many girls in the scene. And they’re not just there, they’re moving, meeting, participating. I think the band is more like an propeller, despite the fact that not everybody enjoys that kind of music. Representation is important as fuck, you know, and all that shit happening in the country made some people go to the streets and feel an identification with the lyrics’s issues, that’s fucking awesome! It brings us together and gives us strength to face what is coming.”

Brazilian feminist punk band RÄIVÄ talk about fighting sexism and violence amidst their country’s political turmoil.
