Okay so I may have slept on this one for the last month. Tarah Who?’s latest track featuring YUR MUM, “Push Me,” is available on major platforms. Known for their unorthodox and non-conformist tone, and “Push Me” is their latest to communicate that message.
Inspired by the 2020 Grammy’s, Tarah realized that the entire rock category and performances were absent on live TV. Feeling that a female rock band is currently overlooked in the music industry, Tarah set out to write a song with YUR MUM that is meaningful to both bands but also all of the hard-working independent musicians trying to get attention and the honor of winning a Grammy award.
“Push Me” is a track that sheds light on the lack of representation of rock bands, especially female-fronted rock bands. While listening to podcasts and watching music documentaries, Tarah was shocked and disappointed to hear artists in the rock genre talk about the changes in the current music industry. Aware of the atrocities, “Push Me” uses the power of sound and raw lyrics to stand up for rock artists and female-fronted rock bands. The band’s explosive and original sound blended with vocals that serve as a plea and statement to the music industry, Tarah Who?’s latest track is a catalyst for exposing bias and the lack of rock representation in the music industry.
Power duo Tarah Who? have dropped their latest cut, a hard hitting and powerful track, ‘Supposedly, A Man’
On the track Tarah says: “‘Supposedly, A Man’ is our new single. It’s about this man I was serving when I was a bartender. Long story short, he came in wasted and asked that I served him more alcohol. I said ‘No’ since… well I don’t make laws, and he got pretty upset. He was rude to me and disrespectful to his pregnant wife who ended up leaving.
The next day, one of his friends came up to me and showed me a picture of him, and what he does. I supposed it should have justified his behavior. The story itself is pretty simple but the meaning behind it should be remembered.
The #MeToo movement has awakened the anger with both the atrocities committed against women and everyday gender inequalities systematic of society. This frustration detonates with ‘Supposedly A Man’ as we are taking real-life snapshots of men who demand respect but do nothing to earn it. Too often, the extremely low bar for behavior or “boys will be boys” creates a society where violence against women, societal injustice, or just disrespect are the status quo.”

Tarah Who? have just released their new single “Manners”! It’s taken from their album, Exposed, and influenced by true-life events.
“Manners” was inspired by the story of Tarah’s mom, Mimi, who was abandoned as a child, raised in a foster home, and went to Catholic school. “Manners” sheds light on the pressures Mimi grew up with to be a good civilian and to always be well-mannered and behaved.
Mimi’s unique journey through the obstacles of growing up in a religious home is well illustrated in the “Manners” music video.
Tarah’s hope for “Manners” is that it will spread love and kindness to all listeners. She says, “I’m really sensitive to things that happen around me, and I love studying psychology and human behavior.” She continued, explaining that “when I write, I seek to process personal stories and news stories through these perspectives, but in a way, that’s relatable to everyone.”
As with most of her songs, Tarah wants others to reflect on equality, in religion, race, gender, and more. With occurring controversial events, “Manners” is a powerful reminder for listeners that love is within us and not to be sought anywhere else.
Tapping my foot straight to the beat, ‘Manners’ is another stroke of gold for Tarah Who? It’s a track you’ll hope you come back to every time and not disappointed. It’s part grunge-y and part punk brilliance with the drums on point and an overlay of screeching guitar to match in this lockdown. Turn it up and put it on repeat!

Sadly these aren’t in person or Skype / Zoom interviews but these are to introduce you to the artists themselves as a little get to know you post. I can’t wait for everyone to see just who is taking the questions so without further ado, we have a band that has been with us in the past, we reviewed the latest amazing single ‘Swallow That Pill’ a few days ago and I am so happy to intorduce you to Tarah Who? !!
Before we get started on the questions quickly, I just wanted to give a shoutout and massive massive thanks to the legend that is Andrew over at Rogue PR for putting this together!
If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you? CH : My name is Coralie Herve aka Coco and I’m the drummer of Tarah Who?TGC: I am Tarah, singer, guitar player and founder of Tarah Who? .
How did you meet? CH : Tarah and I were friends on Facebook. We had some friends in common, I messaged her when I was coming to Los Angeles to study at the Musicians Institute. She later contacted me when she was looking for a drummer for her band Tarah Who?
TGC: Yup!
How long have you been playing? CH : I started playing drums when I was 10 years old, I never stopped since hahaha. It’s been 15 years now.
TGC: I started playing the drums at the age of 14 and later taught myself the bass and guitar. I only started learning how to play the guitar because I was writing songs on the side. My main instruments were the drums and bass. I was playing in different bands. I never really thought of my side writing as a career, but it sort of took over.
What three words would you use to describe the music you play? CH : Loud, Heavy and Energetic.
TGC: Rock, Raw, 90s.
What are your musical influences? CH : I started listening classic rock around 10 like ACDC, Bon Jovi, Guns’N’Roses … One day my uncle showed my this band called Nightwish and I fell in love with this style, symphonic metal.
TGC: What I like listening to are more bands like The Distillers, Pantera, Motorhead, The Smashing Pumpkins, TOOL , RATM etc… I am pretty sure that you can hear a little bit of everything in Tarah Who?. Like the choice of sounds or guitar effects etc…
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show? TGC: A couple things.. like someone breaking her arm during a moshpit and who did not want to leave the pit, at least until the end of the song. Also, that one time I booked us at a strip club, without knowing it… That was fun.. 🙂
Being away from the stages since last year, where is the one place you’d visit when the restrictions are lifted? TGC: Probably home (Paris). I want to see my friends and family back home and play a few shows in Europe while at it. 🙂
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning? TGC: So admit owning it now? 🙂 Hummm.. I don’t really have albums anymore, but I’d say anything that’s pop or country music. 🙂
What have you been listening in the last few weeks? CH: I’ve discovered this awesome band called Ad Infinitum and it’s really good!!
TGC: Everything! From Rap to Rock, Punk, pop, country..! I have listened to a lot of different stuff!
10. Are there any releases you have planned in the near future? CH : Yes !!! We actually have been pretty busy in 2020, we are releasing a new Album in April 2021 and some new videos too !!!
TGC: Yeah, we used the lockdown to write and record new music so that we would be prepared to release single and music videos in 2021. So… stay tuned! follow us on Instagram @ tarahwho or www.tarahwho.com for all of the updates 🙂
Now, I can’t wait to get myself to one of Tarah Who?’s shows (hopefully in the near future) because I would so love to do an in person interview with them and there’s a few bits here I would love to get more information on. But for now this and the music will have to do.
