We are VERY excited to be holding a War on women gig at Paradiddles. It's probably the only time you'll get to see them in such an intimate venue! Grab your tickets quick!


War On Women is a co-ed feminist hardcore-punk band. Formed in Baltimore, MD in 2011, W.O.W. use driving riffs and in your face vocals that attack the listener both sonically and lyrically, penning catchy and confrontational songs that touch on rape culture, street harassment, the gender wage gap, transphobia, and other vitally pertinent social issues.

Riff-fueled manifestos are nothing new for War On Women. The co-ed feminist punk troupe has been tackling injustice one song at a time since their 2010 inception. Storming out the gate with teeth gnashing and spitting venom, War On Women?s self-titled 2015 debut crossbred riot grrrl ferocity with the nimble aggression of thrash. Hailed for their crystalline jabs at societal ills, War On Women prove that hardcore can incite change that ripples far beyond the parameters of the stage.

War On Women are neither a crew of young bucks nor a contagion of seasoned legends. They don?t fit neatly into metalloid machismo or hulking hardcore tropes. They have nothing to prove, and there?s nothing more delightfully dangerous than that.

Support from DEUX FURIEUSES

Made up by Scottish vocalist/guitarist Ros Cairney and Greek/London-based drummer Vas Antoniadou. The agitated post punk duo formed in London in 2013 on a mission to comment on the world around them through their songs. Raised on a fiery blend of Irish and Greek music, ?80s post-punk and ?90s alt-rock, the pair also bonded over their love for early PJ Harvey and Kate Bush, and found in each other a rebel soul mate to reckon with.

Deux Furieuses will tour the UK in November, including main support slots to label mates Skinny Lister, to promote their self produced third album Songs From Planet Earth which is released on 11 November via Xtra Mile Recordings.

support TBA
