Ignored by the industry and deprived of the global success afforded to the male-dominated bands of the day, Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands is a celebration of the women and the music of yesteryear, and a rallying cry to the female talent of tomorrow.

Blending personal anecdotes with a scrapbook-style audio-visual aesthetic, Since Yesterday takes us on a decade-by-decade adventure, crafting the ultimate visual mixtape. Discover unheard demos, lost archives, and rare performances that celebrate the Game Changers, Trailblazers, Popstars, Post Punks and Pioneers who never compromised, and subsequently got lost in time.

The film takes a critical look at the barriers women have faced making music in the past, and still face today. It asks how we can inspire young women to make music, if those who do so are continuously erased from our cultural history.

Written and narrated by award-nominated musician Carla J. Easton, this is a powerful global story told through a local lens.

  Violence

  A music video depicts a woman light-heartedly pretending to shoot a man in the head with a gun.

  Language

  Use of strong language (‘f**k’) is accompanied by milder terms such as ‘bloody’, ‘shit’, ‘piss’ and ‘up yours’.

  Sex

  There are mild verbal sex references, mostly heard within song lyrics and in song titles.

  Discrimination

  Female musicians discuss the pervasive historical sexism they experienced whilst they worked in the music industry. A singer describes how her struggle with agoraphobia was dismissed by record company executives, exacerbating her condition. These discriminatory attitudes are clearly critiqued and challenged. In footage of a dated television interview, a woman is told she looks like a ‘gypsy’.

  Sexual Violence and Sexual Threat

  Female band members reference how women did not feel safe and were sexually harassed and assaulted at gigs in the 1970s and 1980s. A song is entitled ‘Rape Victim’.
