Updated tour poster for a trip with
@theyachtclubtyc
with a Trowbridge date added and some venue changes!!
Can't wait to see you all there, tickets in our bio xxx
as a punk band with two trans members we'd like to say the circles we move in and the shows we play have been almost universally aggressively trans inclusive, these people don't know a thing about punk
TERF is NOT punk.
Billionaires utilising outdated gender studies to attack marginalised genders is not punk.
Punk is about inciting positive change, non conformity, inclusivity
This dogma is an example of what punk is trying to dismantle
Other punk bands call this out!
what we mean by "aggressively trans-inclusive" is that the cis men and women involved in these scenes go out of their way to make us feel welcome, loved and included. it has quite literally never been an issue at a show because that's who actually goes to punk shows lol
we're not responding to any of the sad, sad freaks in our replies but extremely funny that one of them called us posh. Jamie probably the first ever person from Goole to be called posh
As gigs come back please remember if a promoter says you get a book of tickets to sell that it's still pay to play and they can get fucked and do their job x
we'd like to thank everyone at Hallam for their swift and decisive action when they've been made aware of this situation and for continuing to make Sandygate a safe and welcoming place for LGBTQ+ people
Club Statement 🔊
Earlier today, we were made aware of a player sharing anti LGBTQ+ content on Twitter.
We are inclusive football club and will continue to be.
After discussions within the club, we have taken swift action and the player has moved on.

do not come into our replies with that "you can't be trans and pro Palestine" nonsense, you do not get to weaponise my identity to validate your hatred and racism.
solidarity is not transactional and there is no limit on the amount you can put into the world.
hello new followers! didn't really expect that tweet to get so much attention but we're happy you're here
we make songs for you to scream with us, we put out an album a few weeks ago and we'll be playing all around the UK this year.
start a band, join a union.
We are going on tour!!!!
Very excited to be hitting the road with the incredible
@theyachtclubtyc
in November!
Couple of venues to be confirmed and there's a show between Bristol and Brighton in the works too 🔥
Ticket links will be in our linktree as we get them!
we've said it several times this week but i still think it's mental that we just dm'd a band we like from the us and were like do you want to tour with us lol and they fucking flew here and did it
Wishing our patron

safe travels across his Music Venue Trust world record setting mission this weekend: The most gigs in 24 hours. To keep everything above board we’ve set out some stipulations to ensure every gig counts.

last night a guy was like "you were fucking great" then pointed at Beans and said "and he was fucking great"
Jess said "oh beans uses they/them pronouns" and in the thickest Glasgow accent he said "av no idea what you've just said but yis were great"
No matter how many times we point out to the GC mob the obvious links between transphobia and racism, they continue to ignore the problem. Louise Distras is the latest anti-trans activist to let the mask slip, ‘honoured to sing’ for Tommy Robinson’s far right bully boys
we were carrying Dan's sofa 20 minutes to his new house and some lovely people stopped to take it in their van for us! get your flowers in Sheffield from pavilion flowers, community is real 💖
album launch show!!
we are getting tickets up for this nice and early to give everyone loads of notice, this is a pretty small venue and we'd love to sell it out
supports will be announced periodically so we have an excuse to keep posting about it <3
A year ago today we went on tour! We had big dreams of where the rest of the year might take us which obviously didn't happen but we are very excited to bring you what happened instead during those 12 months soon.
remember you're not DIY unless you have a traffic cone mic stand
Today marks the one year anniversary of the release of Gender, Trauma & Friendship. We're so grateful to anyone who's listened to this record or connected with it in anyway, and we can't wait to bring you another one xxx
(ps vinyl will be here soon (we think))
holy shit we were so worried nobody was gonna come to our show and it ended up being maybe the most fun gig we've ever played! shout out to the real fuckin punks in glasgow who come out in the cold on a sunday night to see bands you've never heard of, you guys rule 💖
jacqueline wilson is trending so here's the funniest thing to ever happen in the /fic group chat: beans sending a picture of their cousin dressed as tracy beaker on world book day, captioned "jacqueline wilson", and then proceeding to lose their fucking mind
after being ghosted by the label we were putting this out with we have been reliably informed a new set of test presses will be with us next week and the records will be here v quickly afterwards, so if you order one you might get it this year!
we were unaware but are unsurprised that amateur pop treated someone else poorly.
we haven't worked with them in several years and have no contact with them, they owe us hundreds of £ in royalties and merch money
if anyone wants to talk about this we're happy to!
@JinxExMachina
This band worked with an abuser who bullied the only POC colour on my scene so much that she moved thousands of miles away and completely fucked the queer scene in my city though 💀
The previously announced Cherie Currie gig on Fri 22nd Nov will no longer be going ahead at The Key Club.
The show was being presented by an external promoter who was hiring the venue for said show & we were not aware of the artists’ beliefs at the time of agreeing the booking.
first of the year tonight! will beans remember what tuning to be in and say "what's next" after every song despite having a set list? will Jess need the lyrics they wrote and have performed 200 times in front of them? will Jamie play our fastest song 20% faster? come find out!
on saturday i don't want to hear any of this "it's not cool to wear a band's merch to their show"
I want to see the most slash fic shirts I've ever seen in my life.
forgot to give her a shout out on stage but our friend
@timeistheenemy
had surgery Friday and got discharged from hospital at like 1pm on Saturday and still came to Heavenly Fest and stood front and centre for our set. Punkest shit I've ever seen
promoters you know bands talk to each other right we're gonna find out if you're not paying support acts? especially embarrassing if you're also in a band 👀
