A few days ago the National Park Services website scrubbed any mention of the word "trans" from their page on the Stonewall National Monument. https://www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm
We started writing this as soon as we found out, while pages were still being taken down for "maintenance" and the entire website scrubbed away mentions of significant historical figures being part of the trans community.
The mix is rough, aggressive, and weird. But I think this demo expresses the energy we were after.

Title is a reference to a previous track off our last EP, "No Pens Allowed"
Speech sampled is of Sylvia Rivera in 1973:
Lyrics
Genocide, Erasure Sponsored by the USA Don't forget the trademark on Sylvia Rivera's grave Suppress opposition Oppress the protest Don't say trans; don't say gay Fascism infests Rats crumble monuments History to dust and shit Cut off the head; poison the rest Shoot to kill, break the neck
Genocide, Erasure Sponsored by the USA Divide and Conquer By LGB without the T Suppress opposition Oppress the protest Don't say trans; don't say gay
Try to Escape Deepthroating nazi dick Isn't gonna save your shit Shoot to kill/break the neck

Another perfect piece of riot soundtrack. We'll need to scream those reminders about "deepthroating nazi dick" and "LGB without the T" a lot in the coming years.
I'm in love with the vocals and the distortion on that guitar is great. For sure, the best way to honor Stonewall is through [redacted].
This is one I might come back to in two hours when it is announced that our country elected stupid right wingers to power again.
Raw energy, deep writing and Demo. Cool collaboration π Hides under her piano.
Ha, I was just thinking to myself "I think I've just finished recording FAWM's heaviest song" and then I come across this π Go get 'em! (I have neighbours through the walls so struggle to do the Ministry vocal thing)
Rough, aggressive, and weird definitely describes this in the best of possible ways. This is a kick-ass protest song, raw and angry and feels like it's being screamed live through a megaphone. That past verse too, whoa. Great stuff
Oh man, this song cuts deep. As a mom of three trans teens, I hate that this country is doing everything it can to scrub them out. I'm mad as hell, scared as shit, and this song encapsulates all my feelings perfectly. Wonderful collab, you three! I'm screaming along alongside you!
i really enjoy how raw this is. itβs a perfect protest song. i hate that a song like this needs to be written in 2025 but you did an amazing job here. love the aggression
I really appreciate the lyrics and delivery style. Guitar part sounds awesome too. Thank you for this. Needed to hear it today
