Official press release:
Babe Haven is a queer punk band known for their riot grrrl attitude and nu-metal edge have signed to UK label, Hassle Records and are set to re-release their sophomore album Nuisance on 16th October 2026. Pre-order here. The album showcases a bold evolution in sound—blending nu-metal, thrash, and punk into a visceral, genre-defying statement that cements their place as one of punk’s most vital rising voices. Mease from Hassle Records says:
“We’re thrilled to welcome formidable US punks Babe Haven to the Hassle roster! They display everything we look for in a band – they’re powerful, aggressive and outspoken. Lillie and Naomi are insanely talented, and their music is empowering and inclusive – it delivers a message we’re passionate about sharing… We’re excited to have the opportunity to work with the band and their wider team, and can’t wait to welcome them to Europe for the first time in October.”
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.
Babe Haven has been setting stages ablaze and selling out shows, quickly becoming an iconic staple in the modern punk scene, sharing stages with the likes of Mannequin Pussy, Nova Twins, Soft Play, Teen Mortgage, Pinkshift, Die Spitz & Pollyanna. They have also appeared at popular tastemaker festivals such as L7’s Fast and Frightening Takeover, Punk Rock Bowling & Jorts Fest. Now, they turn their attention to Europe and will play 29 dates this Autumn- full dates below.
