We all know the type. The unsolicited advice. The raised eyebrow. The stranger who suddenly feels qualified to comment on your life. Disgusting Sisters turn that everyday irritation into something loud and satisfying on their debut single, “Killing It.”
Made up of Anglo-French sisters Julianna and Josephine Hopkins, the duo don’t ease into things. From the first lines, it’s clear they’re not interested in being polite about judgment. The title plays with meaning. On one level, “killing it” reads like thriving, succeeding, owning your space. On another, the lyrics lean into darker, more exaggerated imagery, twisting that phrase into something sharper and more confrontational. Either way, the message is simple: they’re not shrinking for anyone.
The track moves with a punchy bassline and tight, thumping drums that keep everything bouncing forward. Their delivery feels conversational, almost offhand, which makes the biting lyrics land harder. Double-tracked vocals and flashes of falsetto add texture without softening the edge. There’s attitude here, but it’s playful rather than preachy.
Each verse plays out like a mini scene. An old man commenting on a cigarette. A moralist judging a Plan B purchase. The sisters respond with quick, clever lines that tumble into each other. In the pre-chorus, they trade sentences mid-thought, finishing each other’s words like they’ve rehearsed these comebacks their whole lives.
The video matches the chaos. Set in a junkyard, they smash cars, climb cranes, and lean into the absurdity of it all. It’s exaggerated, messy, and self-aware. At its core, “Killing It” isn’t really about destruction. It’s about control. Living loudly on your own terms, even if that makes other people uncomfortable.
