Peaches, the enigmatic Canadian singer-songwriter, is set to return with a bang – or rather, a blast of feminist punk rock – after a decade-long hiatus. Merrill Nisker, aka Peaches, emerged from Toronto's underground scene in the late 1990s, alongside fellow musicians who would go on to achieve mainstream success.
Her breakout moment arrived in the early 2000s with her debut album The Teaches of Peaches, featuring the iconic dance-punk track "Fuck the Pain Away," which catapulted her into the electroclash scene. Since then, she has released a string of provocative and catchy albums – Fatherfucker, Impeach My Bush, I Feel Cream, and Rub – collaborating with high-profile artists like Iggy Pop, Soulwax, and Kim Gordon.
Now, after an extended absence, Peaches is back with new music and a 27-date North American tour, set to kick off in February. The follow-up album, No Lube So Rude, is scheduled for release in 2026, while the first single, "Not In Your Mouth None of Your Business," has already made waves as a defiant anthem for queer liberation.
Peaches' music and message have always been characterized by their unapologetic energy and commitment to social justice. As she embarks on this new chapter, her dedication to advocating for trans rights is evident in the North American tour's charitable initiative: a dollar will be donated from every ticket sale to organizations supporting trans rights.
Music fans eager to reconnect with Peaches can submit their questions to her before November 18th, and the answers will be published in our Film & Music section on November 21st. With her unique blend of punk, rock, and electroclash, Peaches is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene once again – and we're excited to see what's next for this trailblazing artist.

. Like, can't she just drop some music whenever she feels like it? And don't even get me started on the obligatory charitable initiative... it's all good and well that she's supporting trans rights, but can't we just take her for who she is, punk rock energy and all? 
The fact that fans are excitedly submitting their questions for a Q&A session is kinda cringeworthy too. Like, can't we just listen to the music already? 
. With the whole trans rights movement gaining traction, it's awesome that she's using her platform to support the cause 
. I mean, who else can say they're bringing feminist punk rock back from the ashes 
? It's like she's a symbol of resistance, you feel me? But what's interesting is how this aligns with the current political climate 
. We need more artists speaking truth to power and challenging the status quo. Peaches is leading the charge 
The fact that she's donating a dollar from every ticket sale to trans rights orgs is just amazing 
Can't wait to see what her new album No Lube So Rude brings - I'm already imagining the high-energy music videos 
And let's be real, "Not In Your Mouth None of Your Business" is already giving me LIFE 
. it's gonna be interesting to see how her fans react to this new music... are they still gonna be on board with all that raw energy and angst? 
gotta say, her message of queer liberation and trans rights is so important let's get behind her and support the cause 
. That trans rights charity initiative? 
. On a more serious note though...what's next for Peaches? Will she break the internet again 
. The fact that she's using her platform to advocate for trans rights and raise awareness about social justice issues is truly inspiring 
. i love how she's still pushing boundaries and using her platform for social justice – that charitable initiative for trans rights is everything 
I'm so stoked to hear that Peaches is back with new music and a tour! 
. I've got my ticket sales marked down, can't wait to support her charity initiative and help make a difference for trans rights 
. Bring on the No Lube So Rude album in 2026, I'm counting down the days until its release 
And what's with all these charity initiatives? Don't get me wrong, it's great that she's giving back, but is this just a marketing ploy? I hope the music speaks for itself and not just the image.
