Middle-Aged Queers are back with a new song, their first new recorded material since Shout at the Hetero (2022, Say-10 Records), and first material with new guitarist Fureigh (the Homobiles, ex-the Shondes), who joined last year.

“We grew up on the heterocentric, decadent rock and roll ballads of the ’70s and ’80s. It only seemed fitting that we write a love song for us, by us,” the band says of the new single: "Anal Beads."
