’s last show ever in Montreal was everything we could’ve hoped for. Loaded with fierceness, uplifting messages and a strong desire to take a stand against the patriarchy. The energy of the band was magnificent and the connection they made with a packed venue of intersectional misfits was absolutely terrific. Let us know what you thought of the show!

A little over a week ago, punk rock legends played their farewell shows in Montreal and there’s one person that was on the stage performing with the band, but doesn’t get enough spotlight, so we wanted to give her a shoutout.

Did you know that Karina Denike music has been playing with Nofx since 2015? She’s been mostly playing live, adding real talent to the band (hahahaha jk) with her amazing voice (you gotta see her kill it on Lori Meyers!) and on keys. She also brings tons of badassery, killer dance moves and the best smile!

Did you know she has also released over 30 albums, as a solo artist, with various bands or as a collaborator? Her other bands includes Dance Hall Crashers, The Cottontails, Mr. Lonesome & The Bluebelles and many, many more.

We could honestly spend another 1000 words to describe all the amazing work she did musically, but we’ll let you dig and find out by yourself (isn’t the song you’re hearing right now amazing?)(sorry you can only hear it on our insta post but it’s her outstanding cover of “Biggest lie”)

So if you ever plan on checking out Nofx final tour, make sure you wave back at her!

Both editions, which also featured a mini market and a more established and inspiring headliner, were so successful that it’s become a tradition now. The amazing bands who killed it on stage so far include , .band, , , , , .music, , Chicken Suit, and and it was such an honour to have them take part into this!

TW: Murder of a transgender child

On June 23rd, Pauly Likens, a 14 years old transgender teenager was murdered and dismembered in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.

29 years old DaShawn Watkins was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a co**se, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence in the death.

LGBTQ activists and community members in Mercer County have called for the incident to be prosecuted as a hate crime but District Attorney Peter Acker said hate crime charges are not being pursued because Watkins is openly gay and Pauly was transitioning.

Since last fall’s Transgender Day of Remembrance, there have been close to two dozens of other transgender people murdered in the United States only.

Silence shouldn’t be tolerated about this anymore.

This is not the first time we say it and we are fkn tired of repeating it, but we will never stop. Trans folks, especially the youth, deserve the opportunity to grow and thrive without the threat of violence.

We need to speak out louder against hatred and let bigots know that their behaviour is not, and will never be tolerated.

Say their names.

Rest In Power Pauly 🌷

Here’s some more shots of the show at La Sotterenea. All the bands were amazing and so different from each others that it made for a very interesting evening. It went from dreamy and moving songs to intricate prog riffage to blistering rock n’ roll to powerful ballads. Good times!

More footage coming soon.

Mad respect to the organizers of yesterday’s concert at La Sotterenea. If you had a good time just like us, all thanks go to them! They set this show up and they were extra kind to rearrange their schedule to welcome . Shoutout to all the bands that played, Rancid Fairy of course, , , , and who all slayed savagely! Thank you to the vendors , .de.fou, and who went through a last minute change of location but brought their gorgeous art to the show.

They were 10 other bands that we would have loved to see live yesterday BUT we haven’t given up on that yet. We’ll keep you updated.

Here’s a shot that shows how much fun we had at La Sott. You can always count on The Duke to bring the house down!

More photos and videos coming soon.

.hc est définitivement un de nos coups de cœur cette année, grâce à leur tout premier EP, « Up To Task » qui est une véritable tuerie! De plus le groupe clame haut et fort ses idéalogies feministes intersectionnelles anti-capitaliste et anti-fasciste, alors notre collaboratrice Astrid a voulu en savoir plus sur ce qui fait vibrer ce quatuor Français. Voici un extrait de l’entrevue, que vous pouvez voir en entier sur notre blog (hé oui il reprend vit!!).

Enweye enweye enweye!
Par le hasard le plus incongru, j'ai une gig le 22 juin (Lac Simon) et une le 24 (Hochelag), mais pas le 23.

Je pourrais choisir de rentrer chez nous à Québec entre mes 2 gigs pour me reposer le plus possible, mais si tu as un show vraiment relax à me proposer, plus relax que de faire 4h de route pour retourner dormir dans mon lit et conduire jusqu'à l'autre place, je suis preneuse! Tant qu'à pas être chez nous le 23, aussi ben jouer des tounes!

-Événement familial, show pour des personnes agées ou pour des enfants, petit party de quartier ben relax en pm ou début de soirée...
-Une place tranquille où je peux me taper un 12h de dodo pour me remettre de la run qui précède
-Région de Montréal, Mauricie, Lanaudière, Centre du Québec ou Montérégie
-J'ai des petits ennuis de santé qui affectent ma voix alors l'aspect dodo est hyper important!
-Allergique aux chats, à la moisissure, à la poussière, aux acariens, et possiblement à la terre des plantes si elle contient des moisissures 😢
-Pas allergique au fun, une chance!

was absolutely magnificent yesterday at for the release party of her debut solo EP, “Tabula Rasa”, out on . The place was packed and Paige delivered a very suave and hypnotizing performance. Mixing folk, pop, psych and shoegaze, she really captivated the whole crowd, so if this is your cup of tea, check it out because the EP sounds fantastic!

“Les Insoumises” is french to describe women who refuse to submit.

This blog is a place to promote women and non-binary artists from the punk/hardcore scene, as well as the folk, rock n’ roll, psychobilly, power pop, grunge, and indie scenes.

Through interviews, discussions and art, we believe that empowering female musicians is crucial to gender equality, in a scene that is mostly male dominated.
