I, Doris

London, England, GB · 2017–present · active
I, Doris formed in London in 2017 as a collective punk and post-punk project built around wit, feminist anger, and lived adult experience rarely centered in guitar music. On stage, the members all perform as Doris, turning the band into a shared identity rather than a conventional personality vehicle. Their music has been described through terms like mummycore, menopausecore, kitchen punk, and riot pop, but beneath the jokes is a sharp, melodic punk band with a strong sense of purpose. Songs such as "HRT," "In The Ladies," "Wonderwomen," and "Superduperdoris" use bright hooks, gang vocals, bass-driven grooves, and playful arrangements to address sexism, motherhood, aging, healthcare, solidarity, and everyday resistance. The band's connection to the wider DIY punk and LOUD WOMEN community gives their work a communal charge, with songs often designed to be funny, cathartic, and politically pointed at the same time. I, Doris are strongest when they make serious frustrations sound like a party starting in the next room: irreverent, inclusive, and unafraid to turn domestic detail into punk-rock ammunition.
