Mallavora are here to make a change. With songs tackling issues including transphobia, ableism and addiction, and a commitment to only booking wheelchair-accessible venues for their headline shows, they’re proving that music can be both powerful and inclusive.
The UK alternative metal band has just announced a UK headline tour for September, and they’re sticking to their principles by performing exclusively at wheelchair-accessible venues. Even though that limits their options in terms of location and capacity, they’re determined to show up for their fans and demonstrate that accessibility isn’t optional.
LOUD WOMEN’s Alise Elberga spoke to Jessica Douek and Larry Sobieraj about why this commitment matters, what it’s like to be a woman in music, their inspirations, and, of course, asked the age-old LOUD WOMEN question: what does the phrase “She’s a loud woman” mean to you?
