Middle-aged queer punk band the Middle-Aged Queers has some updates for us. Primarily, the band has an upcoming live split 12" with the Raging Nathans (DCxPC Records), and on a related note, the group also has a new single and new live dates.

“When we started this band, we never imagined playing sold-out shows or flying to other countries to perform at festivals. This record celebrates the unexpected love we’ve received over the last few years and our friendships with bands like Raging Nathans and the good folks at DCxPC and Wax Mage, which have only strengthened our lifetime membership in punk rock,” says frontqueer Shauner.

The upcoming tour includes a stop at Pouzza Fest in Montreal, as well as dates on both US coasts.

And now, a new song from their upcoming split:

Raging Nathans

Still Spitting Blood
Rad Girlfriend Records (2022)

The Raging Nathans owe a lot of their sound to the ‘90s punk scene. One thing they don’t take after, though, is that need to put out an album of 15+ tracks. Still Spitting Blood comes just one year after Waste My Heart and it’s only 10-songs and 20-minutes in length. The quantity is probably there, but the band is spreading it out. And while the … Read more

Waste My Heart
Rad Girlfriend Records (2021)

It’s the pop-punk conundrum. Raging Nathans are a distinct band -- yet they aren’t. On first listen their sound is familiar. Take Lookout Records and Ramones-inspired sing-alongs, add skatepunk urgency, put it in a blender and set to crush. It’s not an even mix of all the ingredients, rather familiar fragments with a lot of unique twists and turns when … Read more

Oppositional Defiance
Rad Girlfriend Records (2020)

Boy do The Raging Nathans know how to start a record on a down note. The band plays melodic DIY pop-punk that’s of the verse-chorus-verse variety with driving rhythm to give it that extra oomph. While I tend to think of this kind of music as a little more light-hearted, the band cuts through that veneer instantly with “Tragedy Ghouls: … Read more
