punk | hardcore | riot grrrl | nu metal | noise rockBabe Haven is a queer punk band known for their riot grrrl attitude and nu-metal edge. Formed in Boone, NC by Lillie Della Penna and Naomi Poesel, the band creates anthems of empowerment and resistance brimming with raw aggression. With a mission to uplift femme, queer, and BIPOC voices, Babe Haven turns every show into a space of radical inclusion and catharsis.Latter is a Chicago-based noise rock project formed by chance in 2022 by Philadelphia born sound artist Meredith Haines and drummer Jonathan Alvarado (Beach Bunny). After a decade in the Philadelphia DIY scene, Haines had stepped away from music entirely- burned out and building a new life as a sound artist and college advisor. A spontaneous connection with Alvarado sparked weekly jam sessions that quickly evolved into a raw and unique collaboration. Drawing from Haines' background in both sound art and modern dance, the band's performances blur the lines between noise rock, performance art, and sound art, pushing beyond genre through a volatile mix of tension and vulnerability.
