Babe Haven join Hassle Records as Nuisance gets an October re-release and UK dates
Babe Haven have signed to Hassle Records, with the UK label set to re-release the band’s sophomore album Nuisance on 16 October 2026.
The North Carolina queer punk outfit will mark the release with a 29-date European run, including five UK shows in Brighton, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow and London across November. A live video for the album’s title track, Nuisance, is also out now.
The record finds Babe Haven pushing their punk foundations into heavier territory, drawing on nu-metal and thrash alongside the band’s raw, confrontational songwriting. The release follows a period of shows alongside Mannequin Pussy, Nova Twins, Soft Play, Pinkshift, Teen Mortgage, Die Spitz and Pollyanna.
Hassle Records’ Mease said: “We’re thrilled to welcome formidable US punks Babe Haven to the Hassle roster! They display everything we look for in a band – they’re powerful, aggressive and outspoken. Lillie and Naomi are insanely talented, and their music is empowering and inclusive – it delivers a message we’re passionate about sharing.
“We’re excited to have the opportunity to work with the band and their wider team, and can’t wait to welcome them to Europe for the first time in October.”
The band have shared a live performance video for Nuisance ahead of the album’s re-release.
