Liner Notes

#punk #hardcore #trans #queer #protest #stonewall #noAI

A few days ago the National Park Services website scrubbed any mention of the word "trans" from their page on the Stonewall National Monument.
https://www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm

We started writing this as soon as we found out, while pages were still being taken down for "maintenance" and the entire website scrubbed away mentions of significant historical figures being part of the trans community.

The mix is rough, aggressive, and weird. But I think this demo expresses the energy we were after.

Title is a reference to a previous track off our last EP, "No Pens Allowed"

Speech sampled is of Sylvia Rivera in 1973:

Lyrics

Genocide, Erasure
Sponsored by the USA
Don't forget the trademark
on Sylvia Rivera's grave
Suppress opposition
Oppress the protest
Don't say trans; don't say gay
Fascism infests
Rats crumble monuments
History to dust and shit
Cut off the head; poison the rest
Shoot to kill, break the neck

Genocide, Erasure
Sponsored by the USA
Divide and Conquer
By LGB without the T
Suppress opposition
Oppress the protest
Don't say trans; don't say gay

Try to Escape
Deepthroating nazi dick
Isn't gonna save your shit
Shoot to kill/break the neck

Ha, I was just thinking to myself "I think I've just finished recording FAWM's heaviest song" and then I come across this 😂 Go get 'em! (I have neighbours through the walls so struggle to do the Ministry vocal thing)

Rough, aggressive, and weird definitely describes this in the best of possible ways. This is a kick-ass protest song, raw and angry and feels like it's being screamed live through a megaphone. That past verse too, whoa. Great stuff

Oh man, this song cuts deep. As a mom of three trans teens, I hate that this country is doing everything it can to scrub them out. I'm mad as hell, scared as shit, and this song encapsulates all my feelings perfectly. Wonderful collab, you three! I'm screaming along alongside you!
