‘Hands Off!’ Cassette Compilation Benefits Empowerment

White Mystery’s Alex White, Thelma and The Sleaze’s L.G., and The Psychedelic Cherry’s May McDonough are producing cassettes in the name of women’s empowerment. Hands Off! comes in response to the dissolution of Burger Records following sexual misconduct allegations earlier this year.

The cassette tapes feature Amyl and the Sniffers, Palehound, Courtney Barnett, and 19 other well-known artists.  The curators are taking the proceeds from the tape pre-orders to donate to organizations that benefit young women. The limited edition tape is set to release December 1st.

L.G. of Thelma and the Sleaze states the mission of the cassette,

This is a statement about there being no tolerance for predatory behavior in the rock scene. The buck stops here. We wanted to put together something special by womxn to empower womxn, as a collective force for change.
