RATS AND DAGGERS – Like a normal challenge…

From touring across Europe to building her own DIY festival, Rats & Daggers singer Imara pours unapologetic rage and radical care into everything she does. Fresh off a hectic year of shows and the release of the EP Half Hanged via Laybare Recordings, she talks to us about the story behind Half Hanged Mary, the emotional toll and power of screaming on stage, opting out of the social‑media rat race, and why her Utrecht festival Beware of the Banshees is determined to make heavy music safer, queerer, and more inclusive. Interview originally conducted in Dutch.
