Traidora are a trans anti-fascist punk band based in London, who have been a raw kick in the face to anyone privileged enough to witness them live across DIY networks all over the UK and abroad – and on record!
Starting in early 2023 as the solo project of multi-disciplinary artist Eva Leblanc, a Venezuelan-born trans-woman immigrant, living in the UK. Outside of Traidora she finds time to play experimental music, collaborate with Eve Libertine of CRASS, and stay active organising in her local punk scene. In August 2023, Eva initially released a seven-track demo “Un Cuerpo Trans Lleno de Odio” (“A Trans Body Full of Hate”) and then in 2025 (with a steady line-up made up of four queer people), Traidora recorded their first full length released via La Vida Es Un Mus. 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.
“A trans woman without a country. TRAIDORA’s Una Mujer Trans Sin País is an exploration of the isolation and displacement faced by trans women, particularly those without a homeland, both physically and emotionally. The album’s title speaks directly to the experience of being a trans woman who doesn’t fit within the confines of traditional gender or national boundaries” – Maximum RocknRoll
