Strawberry Switchblade fansite<p>It was reviewed in Melody Maker, Sounds and the NME. Melody Maker said: 'It’s curious that the organisers of "A Weekend of Women Entertainers" should choose Strawberry Switchblade, a band that have been marketed to suit the male palate.' Sounds was similarly superficial, unimaginative and misogynistic.</p><p><a href="https://strawberryswitchblade.net/melody-maker-live-review-8-december-1984/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">strawberryswitchblade.net/melo</span><span class="invisible">dy-maker-live-review-8-december-1984/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/melodymaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>melodymaker</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/livereview" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>livereview</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sexism</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>misogyny</span></a></p>
