Thanks so much @marshallamps for featuring some of our team in sunny Brighton - we had big fun filming this at The Pipeline 💥 Posted @withregram • @marshallheadphones “Put more women on more stages – and turn up the volume.” Sounds about right. Meet the people of @loudwomen , set out to do just that. Check our feed for more content from Brighton’s vibrant music scene and The Great Escape. #NeverStopListening #WomenInMusic #TGE23

Sharing this new bacchanalian punk anthem from Jodie Langford in anticipation of some celebrating tonight 🌹 Jodie will be playing Reading & Leeds this summer 💥

“an EP that inspires reflection on all moments, no matter how big or small” Singer-songwriter Lexie Carroll released her latest EP, ‘you look lovely when you’re living’. Lexie’s teenage years were put on pause due to the pandemic plus dealing with mental health issues and anorexia. Now, Lexie is back to living. ✍️ Reva May – link in bio 💋

“heartfelt songwriting, lush production, and vocal theatrics” Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Kinsley has released ‘Last Time We Never Meet Again’, the first single from her upcoming album Escaper. 📸 Dillon Matthew ✍️ Ro Redfern – link in bio 💋

Maddy Davis shares ‘Stop To Watch The Painting Dry’ – the latest from upcoming project RAGE, an EP and film, out 31 July. 📸 Eric Daniels ✍️ Reva May – link in bio 💋

Mighty Scottish sister punk duo @thetwistettesofficial are back, with the perfect song to sing the Conservatives out of Number 10 with today: ‘Tory Cunts’. It’s unlikely to get played on BBC radio, or even to be shown in your social media feed – but here’s hoping we can help it reach some undecided voters today, as it’s our #singleoftheweek !

💋📣LOUD WOMEN Volume 6 is on its way!! 📣💋 Our new compilation album will be available for pre-order this Friday, ahead of its 2nd August release – featuring 22 of the incredible bands we’re championing at @rebellionfest and LOUD WOMEN Fest this year. We’ll reveal all on Friday ... here’s a sneaky peak of the cover for now 💋

Massive love and respect to our amazing Julie for pulling together such a brilliant minifesto at the weekend! Huge thanks to all the bands and everyone who came out to enjoy them. Particularly lovely to have Big Joanie back on a LW stage, in between all the super exciting events they’ve been playing lately. What lovely memories 💋 Posted @withregram • @iamher_band On Saturday 29th June @bigjoanieband came to the @thepipercalls to play the @loudwomen Minifesto. What a day! They visited the Poly Styrene blue plaque, saw a seal and rescued a dog, all before performing in the evening. I reckon that makes them locals now. All bands stepped up to the mark and blew away the audience so thanks to @thepipercalls for having us, @gavin_gob for ace sound throughout the day and thanks to @barbicanestateband @eli.ldn @everydaysaintss @florescentband @leibnizband @staceycohenmusic Check them all out on Bandcamp, Spotify etc etc and follow them on socials. They deserve your love. As ever DIY bands showing just how good they are and proving the value of grass roots venues like The Piper. Big love to everyone. Support the DIY music scene and keep protesting for equity for women and non binary artists until we have equality in the industry. 🧡💥🧡💥🧡
