Babe Haven

Babe Haven at Strange Brew

Babe Haven is a queer punk band known for their riot grrrl attitude and nu-metal edge. 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, Otoboke Beaver, Soft Play, Teen Mortgage, Pinkshift and Pollyanna. They have also appeared at popular tastemaker festivals such as L7’s Fast and Frightening Takeover, Punk Rock Bowling and Jorts Fest.

Their sophomore album, Nuisance, 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.
