Welcome to Les Insoumises.

“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.

Anybody is welcome to participate in this blog, as we feel it is important to remain united against sexism, or any form of hatred and intolerance, based on gender, race, color, sexual orientation, and religion.

Punk rock is not a fucking boys club.

Join the fight, and together, let's show futur generations that anybody can get on a stage to fuck shit up.

Ce blog est un site qui fait la promotion de femmes et artistes non-binaires, qui viennent de la scène punk/hardcore, ainsi que les scènes folk, rock n’ roll, psychobilly, power pop, grunge, et indie.

À travers des entrevues, des discussions et des œuvres artistiques, nous croyons que l’autonomisation des femmes musiciennes, est cruciale à l’égalité des genres, principalement dans une scène qui est surtout dominée par les hommes.

N’importe qui peut participer à ce blog, étant donné que nous croyons qu’il est important de demeurer unis, face au sexisme ou n’importe quelle forme de haine et d’intolérance, basé sur le genre, la race, la couleur, l’orientation sexuelle, et la religion d’une personne.

Le punk rock n’est pas un club réservé exclusivement aux garçons.

Joignez le combat, et ensemble, montrons aux futures générations, que n'importe qui a le droit le monter sur un stage et foutre le bordel.

Interview w/ Jennifer "JJ" Leigh ( THE DEVOTCHKAS)

In 1996, three girls from New-York got together to form The Devotchkas . A band that would go on to become one of the most talked about all-girl oï punk of the scene at the time. A time that was long before smartphones and social media, when bands only had web pages on Geocities and Angelfire, which is where we first heard about them. Because in 2001, after Jennifer Leigh, (better known has JJ ) took vocal duties, the band released an iconic album, that was not only our introduction to them, but to how much ass a women can kick when they play badass music. The next year they went on hiatus, and we never heard about them. The whole industry evolved, but for us they remained legendary in their own way. Fast foward 20 years later, the same line-up that released that iconic album, decided it was time to get back in action. This weekend, the gang is set to play at the C.Y. Fest in Los Angeles, not once, but twice, and even though we can't attend, we couldn't be more exited at the i

THE PHOTO PASS with MIHAELA PETRESCU

When did you first pick up a camera and what motivated you to start photography? I picked up a camera at around 4 years old. My mom did some photography when i was young, so I grew up with a camera in my hands. Did you study or are you self taught? I studied in cinema/video/communications at Dawson College, then I went to Concordia University in the same field. I never actually studied photography but I had a lot of photo classes. Do you remember the first show you ever shot and how it went? My uncle played in bands since I was really young. The first show I shot was my uncle's first show with his new band. I was around 13 years old. The stress was real! I think I had one of those point and shoot cameras. I also remember my first show for a media; it was Septicflesh at Café Campus. How did you know you wanted to do concert photography and what do you love the most about it? The first concert I ever saw was of Cher . I was maybe 8 or 9 years old and I vividly remember watching the
