PERRA

Calgary, AB

Creating art around violence, sisterhood and catharsis, five-piece grrrl gang punk band PERRA evokes a wolf-like type of feminist hardcore, creating a space where ferocity and chaos can make way for solidarity and community. Check out their 2025 double single release LA LA LA / Kathy Acker to prepare for the madness ahead.
