Pansy Division - Queercore

Pansy Division are a Queercore band - punk with queer themes. They've got a great sound to them, very pop punk and you can hear the earlyAmerican punk influence from artists like Modern Lovers and The Ramones.

If you go to the Audio page on their website, you can download twenty-ish songs. Alternative Tentacles, the label most famous for Jello Biafra and Dead Kennedy's have a whole pile of download mp3s as well (you have to search for the band to get to them but its also got a good bio there)

My fave tracks from the mp3s are Cowboys are Secretly Fond of Each Other, HWMAIT,TIFHAIB (acronymed for the swearing) and Can't Make Love (which has Green Day's drummer Tre Cool guesting).

These guys have just released a 30 song compilation The Essential Pansy Division which I think I'll shout myself ;)

3. The Living End
4. Garbage
5. Voltaire
6. They Might Be Giants
7. Blur
8. The Faint
9. The Damned
10. Depeche Mode

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
OMG, that's actually really hard to remember... Um, Ana Ng or Birdhouse in My Soul or Statue Got Me High - It was about the time that Flood and Apollo 18 came out so maybe even Theme from Flood

What is your favourite album of 8?
Wet From Birth. It took me a couple of listens but then it just seeped into my soul.

What is your favourite lyric of 5?
God is a liberal
God is a democrat
God wants you to vote republican
never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god (GOD THINKS)

Fangs were flying, capes were torn
Hell hath no fury like a Vampire scorned (THE VAMPIRE CLUB)

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Once in Bristol and they totally rocked - in a smallish venue (maybe a few hundred people) and the music is much more like their latest album live. Shirley Manson was doing a androgynous look and was absolutely fantastic.

What is your favourite song by 7?
Ouch. I mean do you know how many albums they've done? If it was Pulp it'd be easy (I Spy) so I'm gonna go with one of their songs that I always smile and enjoy: Far out.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Not really *sad* but there a are a lot of their lyrics that have real meaning for me. For example this lyric means Brisbane during the Joh era (and dancing with my sister)
No time to let the concrete set before it's broken up again
Don't care if it's historic; don't really care at all (ALL TORN DOWN)

What is your favourite lyric of 1?
In my dreams I still see us in a tight embrace
In spite of all the things people say when they stare
That's how I know I'm in love with you and your friend
Honest I do, I can't see you and me and her without each other
And I hope you feel the same way too (you and me and her) (YOU AND YOUR FRIEND)

What is your favourite song by 9?
Eloise or their cover of White Rabbit

How did you get into 3?
Well in the mid-nineties who didn't? Prisoner of Society is a pretty cool anthem. But what made me stick was their lyrics, their energy, their musicality and their mix of ska and punk. I just love the sound.

What is your favourite song by 4?
Another ouch. It's All Over But The Crying or Medication or Parade or Androgyny

How many times have you seen 9 live?
One. But their an ancient band and I can be forgiven. Late nineties at the Roxy and me and my friend where pseudo flirting with the same guy and it was a lot of fun.

What is a good memory concerning 2?
Dancing to Green Man at Prime or at home at 414 or when I was working at Nature Loo. Buying the albums in the UK. Dancing to Sense Overtime in the loungeroom as a kid.

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Hmm does everything have to make me sad? Cause No. But Wet From Birth amuses me... None of them make me Horny either (but Placebo...)

What is your favourite song of 1?
You and Your Friend or Breed

How did you become a fan of 10?
Osmosis. Seriously, osmosis.
