Our new song ‘Straight Pride Month’ is out on Friday 13th June. It is a jazzy noise punk blast of unmitigated fury that ends with the closest approximation TFS could get to a showtune. Musically the song find TFS returning to their standard mesh of varied time signatures, unreleting melodic noise with a sound that feels like a rollercoaster cart that is about to come off the rails at any moment.
It’s fitting that a song about upset gammon moaning about why they “don’t get a special month” just for being basic bitches features Tom Robinson on backing vocals. The man who was not afaird to stand up and shout ‘Glad to Be Gay’ at a time where homosexuals were still being persecuted both by police and public alike – Tom was one of the pioneers in saying “fuck you” to bigotry. TFS view it as an honor as well as a career highlight.
The lyrics are pretty straight forward, a call out to why there’s a pride and a clear sample of a historic injustice, aimed towards all the homophobes with ‘lest we forget’ stuck on thier white vans, clearly they forgot. All leading to a classic shout out to let all complainers know that, now, there is a straight pride month so they can come out of the closets and live free, running through fields hand in hand with Theresa May who hates gay people and was there working as a scarecrow anyway. The song is the second of fiur new releases recorded by Those Fucking Snowflakes, mostly self produced due to lack of money or interest from people with money. The drums were recorded poshly by Tom Peters at Trapdoor Studio in London and the songs were mixed by Chris Hope of Milkshed Studios in Chorley. Everything else was badly recorded by the band themselves
