The Queers: 27 Years of Infectious Pit-Startersby James Greene, Jr. • May 8, 2009It's been 27 years since singer/guitarist Joe King first got together with a few of his friends in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to slap together crude punk rants about their financial shortcomings ("I Spent the Rent"), traumatic experiences with non-denominational youth groups ("Kicked Out of the Webelos"), and the g.
So after downloading an EP from Goodmusiconly, I noticed that there was a "hidden track" on the record. Hidden tracks are the best idea to come along since sliced bread in my opinion. I have noticed that this is a practice that does not seem as popular as a few years ago. I can remember, mostly with punk cds, you would think you were at the end, then there would be an odd silence. Bam, you hit ...
Well, my first under the radar cd release of the year. Needless to say I am excited about this one. The band, "The Queers", have not put out an entire cd in quite some time.They tour too much, so I have been having to rely on their old cd's to get me by. I was going through the web, and saw a snippet that you could listen to some new music at myspace. It was there I found out that the new album...
This was the first queers album I ever bought. I heard of the queers in about 7th grade when some punk kid told me I should like them.

Creating a year end "best of" list is almost impossible for me, since every single song I play is a #1 hit.In case anyone thinks I'm not on the level, let me set the record straight: I think every song I play is fantastic.But, listing every song I played in 2008 would be cumbersome, and a dull read, so I'll tell you about a few #1 number one hits.Each week I open the show with the song from the...
