Traidora

TRAIDORA started as the solo project of Eva Leblanc, a Venezuelan born trans woman immigrant in the UK. A multi-disciplinary artist who finds time to play experimental music, collaborate with Eve Libertine of CRASS as well of being active in the local punk scene. In 2023 she released a seven track demo, since issued as 7”, of raw electronic-drums hardcore-punk sang in Spanish. Bringing to table her personal experience as a feminist Latin American trans woman living in an oppressive society. Between then and now TRAIDORA has relentlessly play both in UK and abroad, with different line ups, always bringing her uncompromising political hardcore punk to the stage. Against all odds, both to receptive and not-so-receptive audiences. Fast forward to 2025 and with a steady line-up made up of four queer people, TRAIDORA enter Bear Bite Horse Studios to record their first full length. The result - heavily influenced by the hardest side of Latin American punk - is thirteen blasts of sharp and blown-up crude hardcore punk. Sonically sitting somewhere between DROP DEAD, MASACRE 68 and LOS CRUDOS. With Eva singing in Spanish about morality, gender, borders, Palestine or local Mapuche struggles with a strong trans-feminist immigrant message. The LP comes with an A3 insert with lyrics. (LVEUM)
