Bands
Karnstein are a Canterbury, Kent based extreme metal band who combine various elements of Gothic, Black, Death and Doom Metal to create dark, heavy and varied songs using classic horror motifs as metaphors for the queer experience.
Notion of Fortune are a folk punk band for you to dance, sing, and scream your heart out to! <3
Resting Bitch Face are a female and non binary fronted queercore punk band from Birmingham. They pride themselves for bold, brassy and in-your-face live shows, while unapologetically talking about issues and messages that affect them and the LGBTQA+ community as a whole.
Slutmade are a Birmingham based, all female riot grrrl band inspired by bands such as Bikini K*ll, Bratmobile and Upchuck. A queer band providing a space for women and the LGBTQA+ to get involved.
TRANSISTRRR are a Birmingham based queercore punk band forcing a space to exist for trans musicians at gigs. They scream loudly about anti-capitalism, anti-fascism, and trans joy.
Punks for Pride is a non-profit event with all proceeds being split between the bands and Transgender Action Block (TAB).
TAB are a group of radical activists dedicated to transgender liberation. They organise for access to healthcare and against insurgent anti-trans reaction.
