The Sex Pistols released the legendary album “Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols”
#punkrockhistory
I enjoyed this episode so much! John Savage dives into the punk movement of the 60s, 70s and later post punk and New Romantic movements of the 80s, and how they have roots in the queer scenes of the time. From Andy Warhol's Factory to David Bowie's declaration of his sexuality only a few years after homosexuality was partially decriminalised in the UK, to New York Dolls, Max's Kansas, Wayne later Jayne County, Vivian Westwood and Malcolm McLaren's SEX clothing shop and the gay clubs, which ended up becoming stops frequented by queer folks in London. I also really appreciate the way everyone interviewed about it talks about how there was this aspect of the weirdos and the freaks sticking together: everyone who didn't fit in had a place in punk initially, because that's where punk's roots lay.
It's available for the next 4 days, if not message me for it (if I still have it)

Those Fucking Snowflakes - Only Weak Men Fear Strong Women
Those Fucking Snowflakes are a Blackpool based punk rock trio and I cannot get enough of this song, off their EP Straight Wealthy White Male Suffrage. So good.
More punk from Northern Ireland, this is Womansplain by Gender Chores. Classic punk, under two minutes, gets to the point, punky guitars. If you’re looking for something more alt-rock or longer (cuz you couldn’t get enough of them), find Territory on their Womansplain EP. I love that song.
Listen/purchase: Womansplain by Gender Chores
Just your routine friendly reminder that we don’t need SWMRS and there’s instead a lot of great punk, indie and alternative music coming from the women, the punks of colour, the queer musicians on the scene and promoting them is what I’m here to do.
Find the rest of these posts tagged No SWMRS no problem, cuz.

Big Shouty by Problem Patterns, a feminist punk song, aptly described, because sometimes, your disgust can only be shouted big. Problem Patterns are from Belfast, NI, and I LOVE THEIR MUSIC.

This belongs to a thread tagged No SWMRS no problem cuz. There’s good music out there without being hung up on unapologetic creeps.
