It’s Bandcamp Friday, which means today is an especially good day to chuck a few quid into the LOUD WOMEN DIY machine.
Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share for the day, so more of what you spend goes directly to the artists and labels you’re buying from.
And conveniently, we have quite a lot of excellent stuff for you.
LOUD WOMEN Volume 7
Fresh out last month, LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 brings together 22 artists from the LOUD WOMEN community, including Lady Lazarus, THWACK!, Mona Freaka, French Toast, HAWXX, Whoremones, GUNK!, The NaNaz, YAKKIE, Witch Spit, Breakup Haircut, I, Doris, Second Idol, The Maggie Pills, BURRY, WREX and loads more.
You can grab it digitally, or get one of the limited-edition CDs. Only 300 CDs were pressed, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

The Resonance FM Sessions
Our LOUD WOMEN: The Resonance FM Sessions – volume one collects some of the brilliant live sessions recorded for the LOUD WOMEN radio show on Resonance FM.
It’s raw, live and properly DIY, featuring artists including Twat Union, Lilith Ai, da Googie and Cara Tivey, HotWax, I, Doris, Bridget., Helen McCookerybook, Bad Static and more.
All proceeds from this album go directly to Resonance FM, helping support the independent community radio station that gives our show and so many other brilliant, strange and important things a home.

Why it matters
Buying this stuff genuinely helps us keep doing the ridiculous things we do.
It helps us put women and marginalised-gender artists on stages, make records, make radio, support independent venues and scenes, and take LOUD WOMEN into new cities and countries. Right now we’re preparing for a fairly bonkers run that takes us from Newport to London, Canterbury, Halifax, Toronto, Boulder, Tokyo, Gadigal/Sydney, Naarm/Melbourne and Meanjin/Brisbane in 58 days.
We’re a DIY organisation. There isn’t a giant machine behind any of this. There are just a lot of people putting in a lot of work because we think these bands deserve bigger stages, bigger audiences and louder support.
So if you’ve been meaning to buy an album, a record, a T-shirt or a tote bag, today is a particularly good day to do it.
