Speedy Ortiz are more than just a really great band, they’re an important leading light in making music equal and accessible to all. Their music is empowering, a reassuring force for the despondent and disenfranchised. Their activism is admirable, with great initiatives like a hotline to report assault at their shows helping make spaces safe. And the way they’ve thrived as a DIY band is inspiring. Founder Sadie Dupuis will discuss all these aspects of the band’s significant career thus far with Pitchfork’s Jillian Mapes.
