(Had to censor some of the band names because of lemmy's slur filter, the main band in question is an all asian band reclaiming the term. Additional edit: had to switch to a shortened link because the filter also blocked the band's website url.)

New album by We Are The Union out 6/4. The music video for the first single off the album is already out.

We Are The Union is a band with many homes, but is currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Drawing heavily on ska, pop, and punk rock, the band’s 2021 full length, ‘Ordinary Life,’ balances soul crushing lyrics about dysphoria and heartbreak with endless hooks and furiously catchy choruses. The album, which serves as vocalist Reade Wolcott’s coming out as a trans woman, was recorded in secret in a rented house in Joshua Tree with producer Jon Graber.
