CiTR

For this Pride Month edition of the show, we're talking about the punk subgenre, Queercore. Toronto duo GB Jones and Bruce LaBruce felt a cultural gap in their city for queer punks who didn't fit into the mainstream LGBTQ+ community and club crowd, but they didn't fit into the mainstream punk crowd either. By starting up zines which called for punk music by and for queer folks, their influence spread notably to Chicago, LA, and Seattle who all began their own Queercore music and zine scenes.
