In this issue of Hit Parader, Mannequin Pussy emerge as one of modern rock’s most feral and vital forces. In an unguarded conversation, frontwoman Missy reflects on the band’s commitment to raw honesty, community, and catharsis — values that have turned their shows into spaces of release, empowerment, and collective noise. From onstage speeches that spark full-throated screams to songs that refuse restraint, Mannequin Pussy thrive in extremes, meeting hard times with even harder conviction.
The story traces the band’s evolution over more than a decade, spotlighting the chemistry between longtime members Colin “Bear” Regisford and Kaleen Reading, and the intuitive creative bond Missy shares with guitarist Maxine Steen. Speaking just days after a grueling four-month tour, Missy opens up about everything from doomsday prep fantasies to the environmental impact of AI, revealing a band unafraid to question the world around them as loudly as they challenge it. It’s a portrait of a group that invites chaos and care in equal measure — making room on the dance floor, at the mic, and in the moment for anyone who needs it.
