News summary

The documentary 'Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands' by Carla J Easton and Blair Young premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, highlighting the overlooked contributions of all-female Scottish bands from the 1960s to the present. The film addresses the misogyny that has historically hindered women's visibility in the music industry, featuring interviews with artists like The McKinleys and Strawberry Switchblade, who share their struggles and triumphs. Co-director Easton emphasizes that the documentary aims to celebrate these women rather than portray them solely as victims, showcasing their resilience in a challenging environment. The project began as a DIY effort in 2016, inspired by Easton's personal experiences in music and the realization of the gap in representation. The filmmakers hope the documentary will serve as a reminder of past inequalities while fostering a more inclusive future in the music scene. Bands featured include The Ettes, Lung Leg, and His Latest Flame, who have all played a significant role in the Scottish music landscape.
