Laura Jane Grace & The Devouring Mothers

"Any trans person out there knows what a dysphoria hoodie is..."

From Kim Petras’ historic Grammys win to Boygenius’ indie-rock superstardom, 2023 has been a huge year for LGBTQIA+ music fans. Whether in the mainstream or the underground, queer music is thriving and unapologetically so. Ellie Robinson explores how it happened (and why this is just the beginning).

Last November, Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace released 'Bought To Rot', the first album from her new project The Devouring Mothers. Now, the songwriter, author, anarchist and activist is bringing it Down Under. She tells us how the band came about and what to expect now that she's working outside of AM! expectations.
