  RIP Jennifer Finch 20.07.2026 1h 56min

  Jennifer was so much more than just the punk rock deity on stage with L7; she was undoubtedly one of humanity’s greatest. Jennifer was a generous person whose kindness touched people around the world. Whether it be through: her words, her photographs, her music or just existence, she was one of punk’s most important ambassadors. Punk, music and the world in general is darker without her light. A legendary musician and person, we were honoured to have had Jennifer as a guest on the show. Our deepest condolences to her family, all her bandmates & everyone who loved her ❤️. Rest in peace Jennifer Finch 1966 - 2026If you are able to, please donate to her Gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jennifer-finch-vs-brain-cancer-its-time-to-make-noiseSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/turned-out-a-punk/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
