Decolonise Fest 2026 was a fierce, joyful celebration of punk by people of colour, community and resistance, with a brilliant bill bringing together rage, solidarity and seriously good music.

1989–1992 isn’t one of those compilations that only makes sense if you already know the band inside out. The real thrill is hearing Velocity Girl take shape almost in real time, through line-up changes, scattered singles and compilation tracks, all within a Washington D.C. scene that was starting to push punk towards other sounds.

LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 brings together 22 incredible artists from across our global community. Pre-order now, join our Bandcamp Listening Party on 1 September, and hear the future of punk before the album lands on Bandcamp Friday.
