I want to tit fuck the Queers

The Queers Back to the basement

The 90s are back! Of course, this came after the 80s were back. But what about the bands from the 80s who spawned the popular bands of the 90s? Did they go anywhere?

Back when you were just a little Plan B gleam in your parents' eyes, the Queers were biting at the Ramones' teet so hard, they actually got to open for them a few times. They're also the closest I've ever gotten to Ben Weasel (that is, I've seen them play the song “Ben Weasel” live). But the reality is, if our bro's are going to be covering Blink 182 songs, I would like to suggest they take a trip backwards to check out bands like Screeching Weasel, and yes, the Queers.

I'm not going to get all old-man preachy, let's just say before the Green Day's and Offspring's of the world, Lookout! Records was propped up by real indie punk bands like the Queers. Bands who were asked to be on major labels, and said no. I guess in today's terms, that would be like being asked to be on Converse records, but you get the point.

Anyway, the Queers are like 128 years old now (minus 100), so people don't care that they're still touring, or that they just put out their “best record since Joe Queer was doing speedballs.” That's ok, 'cause at heart, I'm still a teenage gluesniffer looking for my punk rock girl, so I'll listen to this shit until the day I die (I drink more than Bud though).

Fuck the world, I'm hanging out with the Queers tonight.

Listen to “Tit Fuck” from the Queers' Back to the Basement below. You can buy the album here.
