Childbirth is an all-female alternative band from Seattle, Washington. The band is a supergroup in the sense its members are all in other popular Seattle-based bands (Julia Shapiro of Chastity Belt, Bree McKenna of Tacocat, Stacy Peck of Pony Time.) The band performs in maternity gowns and is currently signed to the label Suicide Squeeze Records

The three piece received some notoriety on websites like Pitchfork and Vice Magazine for their viral song "I Only Fucked You As A Joke"[1][2] which also made Spin Magazine's Top 100 Songs of 2014.[3]
NPR premiered the single "Nasty Grrls" for their most recent record Women's Rights[4] The record was met with widespread acclaim from its growing audience, and after some touring of both coasts, the band was invited to perform at the Sasquatch Music Festival and NYC's Northside Music Festival.
They are good at getting people to mow their lawn and making very on the nose, pseudo-sarcastic references to feminism.[5]
