M(h)aol, pronounced “male” is a feminist five-piece here to make a statement. Their newest
release, “Attachment Styles,” reaches into the pits of feminist rage, boasting impressive
instrumentation and honest, poetic lyrics–not without a spark of humor. In full, the album is a
phenomenal exploration of the frustration that comes with experiencing sexism and bigotry,
outlined by a haunting, almost threatening undertone. M(h)aol’s punching lyrics are made even
more hard-hitting by frontwoman Róisín Nic Ghearailt, who had spent three years with the band,
including the making of “Attachment Styles” before deciding to leave music altogether. Though
this is the first and last album with Róisín, M(h)aol continues to have a strong presence through
the remaining four members’ high-energy live performances and continuing intersectional
activism.
