Since forming in April 2019 the Hunter School of the Performing Arts band have attracted high praise from triple j Unearthed and surf-rockers Hockey Dad.

Boycott's debut EP Papillon, released in May, was an impressive statement, particularly the cutting Old Mate. However, for their latest single they've upped the ante, and the rage.

Please is a spoken-word assault, backed by a lurching dystopian metal riff, that unloads on the Federal Government's handling of climate change.

Boycott's Samson (keys, vocals) and Milla Duff (guitar, vocals) wrote the lyrics during the height of last summer's horrific bushfires and were inspired by political punk bands The Dead Kennedys, Idles and Pussy Riot.

"We wanted to capture our frustrations about current affairs and how our government isn't doing enough," Samson, 17, said.

"At the beginning of the song when it's talking about being a fly on the wall, it's about the youth generation and how we're ignored again and again."

The lyrics reference literary classics such as Lord Of The Flies and 1984, as well as Prime Minister Scott Morrison's often-lambasted response to the bushfires of "send your hopes and prayers."

But it's Samson's throat-tearing vocal that truly electrifies Please.

"I've been in tears most times after we've performed it," she says. "It's not fake. It's raw emotion. It was the most natural way to perform it."

Boycott, which also includes Kiara Fowles (bass, vocals) and Laura Matheson (drums, vocals), plan to release another single, Heal, later this year following their completion of the Higher School Certificate.

Samson promises it'll be another political statement.

"Our earlier songs do have political notions under them, but our newer stuff is completely political and we want to use this platform to talk about many things like the bushfires, our politicians, our sexual assault experiences and shed light on that and the role of women in society and how it's changing," she says.

"We want to be a feminist band that young girls can look up to and all women can look at to and find some direction from."

The current Australian music scene mightn't feature many high-profile political acts like it once did in the '80s when Midnight Oil were at their creative zenith, but Samson sees a surge of activist bands emerging in the next five years.

"I think this music is on the up and coming again, just because right now this time, this generation, enough is enough," she says. "The microphone has been handed to us now."
