Sorry Folks, No Image Is Here.

Fuck Yeah! The Queers are back with a brand new studio album titled Back to the Basement. Their last album Munki Brain could very well be my favorite Queers album to date so I hope this new one is as good! The album was recorded in Atlanta, Georgia and this release offers up thirteen tracks of blistering punk rock. Joe Queer says, “Ben Weasel sequenced it, HogLog Rehab was on drums, Dangerous Dave on bass, and I was on guitar and mean vocals. We recorded it in about 23 hours from start to finish. That included writing a few songs in the vocal booth when we took a coffee break.” This week only, you can listen to the entire album for free here.

Since 1982, the Queers have been paving the way for the Ramones style pop punk bands across the globe. This new album will continue their legacy as one of the pioneers of this genre.

Mike Park of Asian Man Records states, “Back to the Basement sounds like a follow up to Love Songs for the Retarded era QUEERS.”

“Back to the Basement is the best album we’ve done since I was on speedballs many years ago. It has songs about titfucking and knowing GG Allin. It’s an instant classic, plus it’s kind of catchy in places. We broke out Black Flag Damaged and listened to that and TV Party and wrote this album. The CD version includes White Minority by Black Flag actually. Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it you hipster punks.”
