Queer Hardcore Band G.L.O.S.S. Release Trans Day Of Revenge EP In The Wake Of Orlando Shooting
Last Saturday night the LGBTQ community suffered a tragic loss of 50 people during a targeted shooting at Pulse, a nightclub in downtown Orlando that once served as a safe space. The loss reverberated–and is still reverberating worldwide, through queer communities everywhere, connected through the intricate web of the internet. On Sunday, just one day after the shooting in Orlando, Olympia-based band G.L.O.S.S. released a quick yet commanding EP titled Trans Day of Revenge. While not explicitly pointed at the Orlando shooting, the album’s masterful guitar solos and expediently bellowed lyrics have a clear target–violence: whether it’s a result of “childhood shame / internal blame” (“We Live”) or “killer cops” (“Give Violence A Chance.”)
