In this week’s episode of The Rowdy Alternative, Sam Burgh sits down with Nastacha, aka Miss Distortion, guitarist for the New York punk band Jigsaw Youth. Nastacha shares her journey into music, from picking up the guitar at age 12 to forming a band rooted in raw energy and a shared love for punk. They dive into the band’s unique “back end grunge” sound, their experience navigating a male-dominated scene as young women, and the power of live shows that thrive on audience interaction. The conversation explores the resurgence of rock and punk, the evolving role of women in the industry, and Jigsaw Youth’s goals for future tours, collaborations, and new music. With a focus on authenticity and growth, Nastacha gives a passionate glimpse into the band’s past, present, and exciting future.
