Alternative rock newcomers Hitlist have released their debut single ‘Girlfriends’, out now via Monomyth Records.

Blending punk bite with jagged alt-rock energy, ‘Girlfriends’ introduces the band’s unapologetic, high-volume approach. Loud, sharp and rhythm-driven, the track captures a restless spirit that feels both confrontational and danceable. It’s a bold first statement from a group unafraid to mix chaos with hooks.

Lyrically, the song tackles feelings of inadequacy and comparison, specifically the experience of watching seemingly effortless, confident figures from the sidelines. Rather than staying stuck in self-doubt, ‘Girlfriends’ flips the narrative, choosing action over insecurity. The result is a defiant, tongue-in-cheek anthem about stepping into the spotlight instead of watching from the crowd.

Hitlist have already built early momentum, with appearances at Live at Leeds in the City 2025, coverage in ASBO Magazine, and headline performances in Sheffield and London. With ‘Girlfriends’, they make a noisy and confident entrance into the UK alternative scene.
