UK punk rocker Louise Distras isn’t holding back anymore.
After years of being blacklisted from the UK punk scene for daring to say that biological sex is real, Distras has returned fire—and this time, she’s calling out some of the biggest names in so-called “working class” music for staying silent while actual terrorist supporters take center stage.
Her target? The Irish rap group Kneecap, who recently displayed pro-terror messages supporting Hamas and Hezbollah during their performance at Coachella. Instead of condemnation, they received standing ovations—and the silence from the punk elite has been deafening.
“You lot preach rebellion,” Distras wrote in a scorching post, naming bands like Idles, The Pogues, Sleaford Mods, and even Paul Weller. “But when it’s time to fight for real free speech for the working class, you’re nowhere, bowing to terrorists while we’re crushed under the state’s boot.”
Kneecap has a history of glorifying domestic terror, including chants calling for people to murder their local MPs—yet they continue to get mainstream praise from the very artists who once claimed to stand for working-class struggles. Distras is calling it what it is: cowardice.
“If any of us dared say what Kneecap said, we’d be dragged into court overnight,” she continued. “But they get celebrated. And you’re cheering for those that bomb us and our kids when we pay money to come to your concerts.”
Louise Distras, once hailed as a voice of the underclass, was exiled from the scene for refusing to bow to the radical gender ideology infecting the UK’s music and activist spaces. Now, she’s calling out the two-faced hypocrisy of artists who made millions pretending to be rebels, only to fall in line when it counts.
“You’re not rebels. You’re gutless sellouts. And we see your true colours.”
While Kneecap spreads terrorist propaganda from festival stages, and legacy punk bands look the other way, Distras is one of the few voices left willing to speak the truth—even if it costs her everything.
