War On Women (HC Punk / Riot Grrrl | USA)

War On Women’s band name embodies the band’s ethos right from the start. For well over a decade, the group has been at the forefront of advocacy, communication, and change, crafting songs in response to headlines, news stories, and current events affecting intersectional communities—with the aim of raising awareness and conveying a response rooted in humanity rather than division.

War On Women’s lives outside of music provide new perspectives and insights that not only balance intersectional viewpoints but also create sonic dynamics that both rage and enlighten. From the critically acclaimed album *Wonderful Hell* to performances at Download Fest Australia, Riot Fest, Warped Tour, a D.O.A. song on a new tribute album, and tours alongside legendary acts such as Alkaline Trio, Bad Religion, Jawbreaker, and more—it is War On Women’s lives outside the band that infuse their music with such passion. Vocalist Shawna Potter is an author, advocate, and intimacy coordinator; guitarist Brooks Harlan designs and builds guitar amps; bassist Sue Werner is a senior programming analyst at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Data-Intensive Engineering and Science; and guitarist Jenarchy is a Rock Camp director.
