		What sets queercore apart from conventional punk is not its music -- which is typically intense, energetic, and raw -- but its lyrics, which explore themes of prejudice, oppression, and same-sex attraction with rare honesty and insight.
		The difference is that where punk once promoted nihilism and destruction, most queercore records are driven by an overwhelming instinct for survival -- the music celebrates its outsider status, refusing to cave in to the so-called moral majority's myopic definitions of what is right and natural.
		Queercore revolutionaries Team Dresch formed in Portland, OR in late 1993, originally comprising bassist Donna Dresch (formerly of bands ranging from Dangermouse to Dinosaur Jr.), singer/guitarist Jody Bleyle (also of Hazel), singer/guitarist Kaia Wilson (ex-Adickdid) and Spinanes drummer Scott Plouf.

		Queercore is a cultural and social movement that began in the mid 1980's as an offshoot of punk.
		In Miami, Marilyn Medusa, a zine by Gregory Gajus, was one of the early attempts to merge queercore with a pagan sensibility.
		The festival Queer Panic was organized by Gordon Gordon of the zine Teen Fag in Seattle, Washington in June of 2000.

		It begins its monthly run tonight, Aug. 8, and is scheduled to take place on the second Friday of each month at this club near 14th and T streets, NW, known as a venue for independent and alternative music.
		Initially, he launched Queercore D.C. in 2001 at The Cage, a club eventually sold to the Black Cat and located in the same place.
		While Queercore may be good for the Black Cat and a great space for gay people outside of the mainstream gay culture, it has yet to become an economic success.

	OutSmart - This Issue
		Once called "homocore," Queercore is an outgrowth of punk and such anti-mainstream bands of the late ’70s and early ’80s as the Ramones and the Sex Pistols with their anarchistic charge against commercialism.
		Younger gays and lesbians find that Queercore embraces their anger toward adopting the gay culture that surrounds them and against growing up in the era of AIDS.
		Queercore’s strength lies in its bands’ unwavering willingness to put their sexuality first in their music.

	pw: philadelphia weekly online
		Queercore, which emerged during the activism heyday of the Reagan years, is a tough, loud subgenre of punk--as much about politics as music.
		Throughout the '80s and '90s queercore bands like Team Dresch, Pansy Division and the Philly-based F80 and Size Queen offered a seething critique of mainstream and punk rock culture as they fought for visibility and queer expression.
		A completely DIY effort, the Queercore tour aims to rock out, have fun and build queer community around the country.

		It's not surprising that queercore is back: The gay community has a lot to be angry about at the moment.

		Queercore came directly out of “riot grrrl,” since the lesbians who’d been part of that movement and those all-women groups realized that they wanted to play in all-dyke bands.
		Donna Dresch was perhaps the most influential lesbian in the heyday of queercore.
		The thing about queercore is that it wasn’t just a movement about the music.

		Queercore is a type of punk distinguished by lyrics addressing gay rights, oppression, same-sex attraction, and gender identity.
		Like the riot grrrls of the '90s, queercore bands incorporated the same DIY ethos and tradition of protest to challenge conventional society's ideas about gender and sexuality.
		At their most subversive, queercore bands offered a revolutionary critique of homophobia in the hardcore scene as well as bourgeois conformity in the gay scene.

		QUEERCORE BLITZ, A PUNK MUSIC TOUR NAMED BY FOUNDER AND organizer Anna Jacobson-Leong for its fast barrage of concerts -- seven West Coast shows in nine days -- hits the Alibi in Arcata on Monday night.
		Queercore music focuses on gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-queer rights with a punk rock sound and delivery -- which in general terms is usually fast and very loud.
		But even within the outpunk sub-genre there is a diversity of sound, something Leong considered when booking bands for the tour.

		Philadelphia (Pontiac Grill, April 24, 2004)--An entirely DIY effort, Queercore Blitz is an explosion of unbridled energy that will remind you of the rush you felt when you first discovered punk rock.
		The first organized tour entirely comprised of queercore acts, Queercore Blitz offers a wide range of sounds from the melodic Triple Crème to the fiery beats of Davies vs. Dresch.
		But the Queercore Blitz as a whole seems to wear its heart on its sleeve, a refreshing break from the usual.

		Although queercore has a small, but passionate, group of supporters, it is perhaps too raw and controversial to move beyond the fringes of the music industry.
		As troubled as she was talented, 1960s rock star and blues singer Janis Joplin created an enduring musical legacy that crosses barriers of gender, race, and class; although she never identified as bisexual, she had affairs with both men and women.
		As a founder of the "queercore" movement, filmmaker and reluctant pornographer Bruce LaBruce reaffirms and celebrates the outsider status of homosexuals.

		Chainsaw was one of the seminal queercore zines that, along with J.D.s and Homocore, helped define the movement.
		"The label established itself as a vital element of the queercore scene..." says Spencer, as Chainsaw then began to release records by a variety of queer mainly women artists.
		Of note is the fact that many bands, such as Sleater-Kinney, have been able to put out their initial recordings on the label.

		Queercore emerged in 1985, so only groups that came into being after that date would be included.
		Queercore musicians take an anti-corporate stance, so musicians on major corporate labels would not be included here.
		Neither would musicians who identify themselves as 'gay or 'lesbian' rather than 'queer', since queercore musicians are opposed to the gay and lesbian establishment.

	Independent Weekly: Ye Olde Archives: MUSIC: Homebrew: The Butchies
		Guitarist Kaia Wilson's flowing, crystal-clear playing slides its hand into the classic rock toolbox of distorted, hammer-of-the-gods riffs, while her swooping, butterflies-in-the-stomach vocal melodies and smart, passionate lyrics heave and sigh, scream and cry.
		But queercore has always been near the heart of rock 'n' roll: Elvis, hips swaying beneath his eyeliner, played queercore.
		The key for The Butchies, and for the future of queercore, is that they aren't afraid to mix fears with fantasies, a hope for a better world with an exploration of power and desire in the one we have.

		In the late 1980s, the queercore movement, comprised of LGBT artists and activists who resisted a perceived mainstreaming of the LGBT political agenda, revolted against the normalization of the LGBT community.
		In the early 1990s, several LGBT punk bands emerged from the queercore movement, including the all-female punk band Tribe 8.
		Tracy Flannigan's 2003 documentary, Rise Above, follows the San Francisco-based Tribe 8 and its passionate, individualistic members as they develop rock-star status in the punk scene.
