Lady Lazarus Share Single 'The Collector'
Lady Lazarus is a Sydney-born, Berlin-bound punk band combining brash energy, sharp political messaging, and a DIY ethos that refuses to compromise. Fronted by Caroline Parks (vocals), with Eva Lozanovska (guitar), Izzy (bass), and Jules (drums), Lady Lazarus channels the raw spirit of punk legends that came before them, described by critics as “a reawakening of our punk ancestors” (Happy Mag, 2024).
Known for their unapologetic activism, Lady Lazarus doesn’t just play music—they spark movements. From handcrafting political zines to wearing DIY shirts emblazoned with bold, defiant messages, their art is a rallying cry for marginalized voices. Their inclusive approach to music has seen them champion diverse lineups and organize impactful events like LOUD WOMEN AUSTRALIA, showcasing non-male voices in the scene.
Fresh off their explosive European and UK tour, boundary-pushing punk band Lady Lazarus return with their latest single, The Collector—a hard-hitting track inspired by John Fowles’ 1963 psychological thriller of the same name. Fowles’ novel tells the disturbing story of a man who collects butterflies—until he decides to “collect” a woman instead. Lady Lazarus transforms this narrative into a biting metaphor for the way patriarchal control and objectification persist in modern society.
The Collector is about the quiet violence of observation, control, and entitlement. It’s about how often women and non-men are treated not as people, but as possessions.
This track is a rallying cry and a challenge.
