Grit under the fingernails, feedback in the veins, Yee Loi’s new single « Poor Girl » doesn’t knock, it barges in with raw punk urgency. A swirling storm of distortion, fierce rhythm guitar, and zero compromise, this track is more than just teenage rebellion, it’s a thunderous homage to generations of women who fought their way forward. From the first drum kick to that punch-in-the-heart chorus, « I’m just a poor girl », it’s clear we’re not just in punk territory, we’re in sacred ground. The spirit of grandmothers from Vietnam to Ireland pulses in every bar, their grit transmuted into sound by two young Brits with nothing to prove and everything to say. And the video? Shot in crisp black and white, it’s a masterclass in no-frills rock sincerity. No fancy cuts. No gimmicks. Just two girls, guitars in hand, hearts on fire. Slash Music isn’t just presenting this song. It’s witnessing a legacy reborn.
« I’m just a poor girl » – Yee Loi
Punk’s new pulse hits from the wirral
Behind the band name Yee Loi, which translates to “two girls” in Cantonese, stand Rose and Matilda, two teenage sisters from The Wirral, England, with a stage presence that could blow out festival lights. Rose shreds on guitar and vocals, while Matilda hits both the mic and the drums with feral energy. Add their little brother Don Don on bass, and you’ve got a family trio that’s reshaping what a punk band can be in 2025. On stage, they radiate pure, kinetic chaos, the good kind, the kind you remember weeks after the amps cool down. This isn’t just about nostalgia or attitude; Yee Loi is the sound of punk’s next chapter. New fans? Hop on YouTube. Fall in love.
