we've also got a new t-shirt up for sale—they're expected to ship around mid-to-late may. locals can buy here to skip the shipping & arrange pick-up, everyone else can head to bandcamp. help us pay for recording some new songs!

that's all for now. free palestine, fight for trans liberation, and fuck anyone else who says otherwise.

spring + summer show schedule (so far).

thanks to everyone who came to our last pair of shows—gear still exploded but we pressed on as usual. i believe we raised around $400 at lowther for palestinian youth movement's toronto chapter, and saoirse dream ruled. this world is cursed, but life ain't so bad sometimes.
