Middle-Aged Queers play other artists' greatest hits

Posted in Records on May 3, 2026

As the band mentioned at the end of 2025, Middle-Aged Queers is back with a covers album, Greatest Hits, a collection of punked-up versions of songs that originally span a wider vareity of genres.

"Over the past four years, Middle-Aged Queers has concluded our recording sessions by covering one or two songs, if time allowed," explains Shuan Osborne. "By the end of 2025, we realized we had enough material to do a collection of previously unreleased covers, which we decided to title ‘Greatest Hits’ as a self-deprecating nod to the fact that we don’t actually have any hits of our own! That’s show business for you!"

This includes songs originally by Faith No More, AFI, Taylor Swift, Mazzy Star, Bush, Dr. Know, and more. Greatest Hits is available via Sell The Heart (US) / Engineer (UK) Records.
