Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.
Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:
"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."
She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.
Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.
Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker
Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.
Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.

Technically, biologically, physically, psychologically,
Take your sabbatical, from your radical, fanatical battle
Sit on your saddle, and rattle, rattle, rattle
Take your sabbatical, from your radical, fanatical battle
Sit on your saddle, and rattle, rattle, rattle
I like to lick it and suck it like you do
I like to hold it and squeeze like you do
I like to tease it and tap it like you do
So back it up baby, back it up, back it up
Back it up baby, back it up, back it up
You know what I'm talking about right?
There can only be one thing, you know?
Mine's fake, inanimate, but feels great, just stimulate, your prostate
Relax, it's fat, let me pat your crack, and make it all
So back it up baby, back it up, back it up
Back it up baby, back it up, back it up
Sweet buns let me be your gun [Repeats]
Don't you know it's supposed to feel better for boys? [Repeats]
Sweet buns let me be your gun [Repeats]
Don't you know it's supposed to feel better for boys? [Repeats]
Better for boys
The song "Back It Up Boys" by Peaches is a sexually explicit track that highlights the artist's sexual preferences and desires. The lyrics are raw and explicit, making it quite an unconventional piece of music. The opening verse is a clear expression of the artist's sexual openness, declaring that she is willing to explore and satisfy her partner in every way possible. The second verse is particularly intriguing as it talks about the artist's use of a fake implement to simulate a sexual experience. The chorus is simply an encouragement to the male partner to back up his behind as she taps it.
The chorus may seem like a basic request for the partner to move a little closer, but the verses and the bridge are more sexually suggestive. In the bridge, Peaches talks about her desire to be her partner's "gun," which could be interpreted as a reference to her wanting to be in control of his pleasure. The lyrics "don't you know it's supposed to feel better for boys?" is another thought-provoking line, that poses a question on the conventional belief that men are supposed to enjoy sex more than women.
Overall, the song is an expression of female sexual empowerment and a celebration of unconventional forms of sexual expression. It may not appeal to everyone, but it boldly takes on themes that are largely considered taboo in society.
