LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 captures a landmark year for the global feminist music community

LOUD WOMEN releases its seventh compilation album on the 4^th of September 2026, bringing together 22 artists from its rapidly expanding international community.

Available digitally via Bandcamp and as a limited run of 300 physical CDs, LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 is a 68-minute snapshot of the artists currently filling LOUD WOMEN stages around the world: punk, riot grrrl, post-punk, indie and plenty that refuses easy categorisation.

The album features Lady Lazarus, THWACK!, Mona Freaka, French Toast, HAWXX, Whoremones, Skint Knees, GUNK!, The NaNaz, Yakkie, Witch Spit, Breakup Haircut, Hagar the Womb, I, DORIS, HISSY FIST, Second Idol, Wokerati Party, The Maggie Pills, Maria Uzor, Burry, WREX and Lilith Left The Garden.

Many of the artists can also be seen across LOUD WOMEN’s 2026 live programme. HAWXX, Yakkie, Whoremones, Witch Spit, Breakup Haircut, Mona Freaka, THWACK! and Lady Lazarus have appeared on LOUD WOMEN’s Rebellion programme; Maria Uzor and HISSY FIST played Bristol; Burry joins the Halifax festival; GUNK! heads to Colorado; The NaNaz play Newport; Second Idol appears across London, Brighton and Sydney; The Maggie Pills play Sydney and Melbourne; while I, DORIS are appearing across Dublin, Newport, Toronto, Colorado and Australia.

It lands in the middle of LOUD WOMEN’s biggest international year yet, with festivals and events spanning the UK and Ireland, Canada, the US, Japan and Australia. The organisation has been described by Kerrang! as “what the future of punk looks like”, while BBC News hailed its work as “changing perceptions of punk rock”. Lambrini Girls called LOUD WOMEN “one of the most vital intersectional feminist institutions of our time”.

LOUD WOMEN founder Cassie Fox says: “Volume 7 feels like a snapshot of exactly where LOUD WOMEN is in 2026: brilliant artists connecting across cities, countries and continents. It might be our best compilation yet, entirely because of the extraordinary music these bands have trusted us with.”

There’s a Bandcamp listening party on the 1^st of September at 8pm UK time, with members of Team LOUD WOMEN and artists from the compilation joining the live chat as all 22 tracks from beginning to end.
