How modern punk has evolved beyond sound into activism. Not In Our City 2, a 22-band international compilation released by Knifetwist Records benefiting Make the Road New York, is both a musical statement and a direct act of solidarity for immigrant communities. Through contributions from bands across multiple countries, the compilation channels anger, compassion, and resistance into tangible action, emphasizing punk’s enduring role as a community-driven force against injustice.

Doll Fest is back with three days of music, art, and femme-powered energy. Featuring Vial, Bad Cop Bad Cop, 18 fevers, and so much more, the festival celebrates the past, present, and future of grrrl power.
