LE MULTIVERS PATRIARCAL #1: LE RED BRIDGE FEST


Le punk rock c'est pas un boys club voyons...mais on va se faire un solide party entre gars! 

Hey salut! 

Hé oui c'est encore nous.

Vous vous souvenez peut être de nous pour avoir créé la saga "Music 4 Cancer 2021" (Nos salutations les plus sincères à toute l'équipe, on a bien hâte de vous voir pour votre 10ième édition!)

Sinon vous nous connaissez pour le travail de promotion quotidien qu'on fait pour ramener les femmes et les artistes non-binaires à l'avant de la scène punk, hardcore et alternative.

C'est notre mission et comme on l'a déjà clairement statué auparavant, on ne dérogera pas d'un pouce la dessus.

Donc franchement...vous croyez qu'on allait rien dire?

En fait c'est un peu vrai ce coup là. Car vous savez déjà ce qu'on a à dire. Et sincèrement, on pense que l'image parle d'elle même.

Encore là on tient à vous rassurer, on est pas en train de partir en guerre contre l'équipe du Red Bridge Fest. On entend bien faire ce petit exercice d'affiche "avant/après avoir retiré tous les artistes masculins", avec tous les festivals qui vont croiser notre radar cette année. Spécialement ceux qui se disent "punk" ou "alternatif".

Parce que oui, c'est un beau lineup. Y'a des bon bands la dessus. N'importe quels fans de punk rock des belles années d'Epitaph et Fat Wreck vont adorer ce lineup, et cela inclut clairement des femmes.

Mais est-ce qu'il y'en aura sur scène des femmes? Zéro.

On vous cachera pas notre désappointement.

D'ailleurs nous sommes à travailler sur un outil de référence et un service qui pourra accompagner tous les promoteurs qui désir un coup de pouce pour diversifier leur programmations.

Parce que le punk rock est supposé être INCLUSIF et représenter la belle DIVERSITÉ de notre scène.

On vous souhaite quand même un bon festival. Nous n'y seront pas évidemment cette année, mais on espère pouvoir y aller l'année prochaine!

Amour et rage,

Les Insoumises

2020: HEAR THEM ROAR

Band: Dream Nails / Photographer: Jeroen Jacobs The year 2020 was probably off to a good start for many of us. The prospect of new music, new shows, new ways to kick doors down and share art that means a lot to us, was promising once again. Then, around mid march, it all came to a stop. The whole industry was placed on hold while new ways of doing things were put in place to take care of everyone around us. It didn't stop us from being heard though. It didn't take long for independant medias and artists to get the ball rolling again. After all, most of us have been doing it ourselves for so long. We were up for the challenge.  Eventually new music was recorded, virtual events became a thing, and through online communities, voices have been heard. We are proud to say that it ended up being a good year for women and marginalized artists. We have discovered so many great bands, have seen so many amazing events being organized, and most of all, we've seen all of you getting tog...

Interview w/ Victoria Mladenovski (Peer Pressure)

Peer Pressure is a straight foward, tough as nail, hardcore band from Quebec city. Formed in 2018, the band, fronted by singer Victoria Mladenovski , released a first EP that made lots of waves within the local punk/hardcore/metal community, and beyond. After a few shows around the province, Victoria quickly gained the reputation of being a fierce performer, with powerful vocals, that will make you wanna 2-step your way to the pit in a second. The group just released their first opus, so we got in touch with her to talk about it, and how it all begun. First of all, congrats on the new album, it's such a powerful kick to the face, from start to finish! How does it feel to finally put out your first full length? We are beyond proud to finally share “Catharsis”, which is heavily focussed on mental illnesses. We’ve worked so hard as a band from the start. We are still quite “new” to the scene, so putting out our first full length is just overwhelming. It hasn’t been an easy roa...
