More from Hold Your Ground
Sometimes showing up honestly means admitting that you just don't have it in you to fully show up. This week, we didn't have it in us. We'll be back next week.
This week we sit down with bassist and co-vocalist Linh Le of the infamous band Bad Cop/Bad Cop. We talk punk rock, what it's like being in an all woman touring band and a whole lot more. Linh is an amazing person with steadfast convictions and she ain't afraid to let people know where she stands. This was a super fun conversation. Check it out!
On todays show, we sit down with the Legendary Russel Payne, guitarist of Antifascist Oi! band The Oppressed. This is a fun conversation with one of my childhood idles whose been making the soundtrack to so many bootboys lives, mine included, since 1981!
On this episode of Hold Your Ground, we talk with Jenny Woo about her experiences in the punk rock and skinhead subculture. Jenny has spent 2 decades carving out her own place in a scene that has been quick to criticize, judge and tear down women that refuse to fit neatly into the boxes people have created for them. Whether it's her music, her politics, her appearance, or the fact that she chooses to do things her own way, Jenny has caught an enormous amount of hate. Unsolicited and completely unwarranted. This episode isn't about defending Jenny from the nonsense spit her way though, it's about giving her the space to talk about what it's actually like to be a woman in the scene, what misogyny looks like from the receiving end and what it takes to keep standing when people seem determined to tell you that you don't belong. We talk about the good, the bad and the parts of her story that often get lost when people decide who someone is without getting to know them or hearing them out. Skinhead is about being your own person and standing on you convictions regardless of what people think. After an amazing conversation with the woman so many love to hate, we will whole heartedly say that not only is Jenny an amazing person who wants to give back to the scene, she is the epitome of Skinhead. Come check it out!
On this episode, we begin to dig into where these subcultures came from, who built them, the fight against racist appropriation and why the underground and the roots still matter.
