Peaches, The Unapologetic Queen of Electronic Punk, Takes Questions from Fans Ahead of New Album and Tour.
Peaches, a.k.a. Merrill Nisker, has left an indelible mark on the music scene with her unapologetic lyrics, infectious beats, and electrifying live performances. From her early days in Toronto's underground scene to her rise as a Berlin darling, Peaches has consistently defied conventions and pushed boundaries.
Her debut EP, Lovertits, was a staple of the electroclash era, but it was her debut album The Teaches of Peaches that catapulted her into mainstream success with its joyful, profane dance-punk track "Fuck the Pain Away." Since then, she's released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including Fatherfucker, Impeach My Bush, I Feel Cream, and Rub, which have featured collaborations with Iggy Pop, Soulwax, and Kim Gordon.
However, it's been over a decade since her last album, and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of No Lube So Rude in 2026. The follow-up is shaping up to be just as triumphant, with the latest single "Not In Your Mouth None of Your Business" serving as a powerful manifesto for liberation and resistance.
As Peaches embarks on a 27-date North American tour starting from February, she's also donating a dollar from every ticket to organizations supporting trans rights. It's clear that Peaches remains committed to using her platform for good and creating music that inspires change.
So, how does Peaches' latest work live up to the hype? What inspired her return to music after such a long hiatus? And what's next for this unapologetic queen of electronic punk?

She's like a rockstar legend or something! I mean, have you heard that new single? It's like a battle cry for everyone who's ever felt marginalized or oppressed 
. And can we talk about her philanthropic efforts? Donating to trans rights orgs is huge 
. What I'm most curious about is what inspired her return after such a long hiatus. Was she feeling stuck creatively, or was there some personal stuff going on? Either way, I'm so stoked that she's back and better than ever 
. Can't wait to see her live in Feb - the energy's gonna be ELECTRIC
