Album Notes & Community Reviews

A monumental statement of community and resilience, 'We're Still Here' sees the Philadelphia-based queer collective enlist an astonishing roster of guest artists from across the heavy music spectrum. The album is a relentless barrage of powerviolence and grindcore, punctuated by the dissonant, rhythmically complex structures of mathcore. It functions as both a celebration of queer and trans identity and a furious sonic protest against systemic oppression.
