Dublin Queercore Greats STRONG BOYS Return with First Release In Six Years Homo EP (Static Shock Records)


STRONG BOYS are a mysterious Queercore/Hardcore band hailing from Dublin, Ireland. It's unclear who exactly is in the band itself and their memebrship doesn't appear to be clearly listed anywhere online. STRONG BOYS have now returned with their first release in six years with the Homo EP. With about as much subtlety as a pub fight spilling onto the street, these four tracks vent against the church, dated attitudes, predatory creeps with wandering hands, and more. It's still defiantly Gay Hardcore—as should be expected—with no meat on the bone. Static Shock Records share STRONG BOYS' Homo EP is suggested for fans of 86 Mentality & Negative Approach.


The record comes housed in a fold-out sleeve with new artwork from legendary Gay Manga artist Gengoroh Tagame and lettering created Nicky Rat (STRINGRAY.) First pressing is 350 copies on blue vinyl and 150 on white for mailorder-only. Homo EP is STRONG BOYS' first proper release since their RIOT SHOCK album released on Leeds-based Milk Run Records back in 2015. Two tracks from Homo EP, "Pink Death" and "UB2FU," are currently streaming on Static Shock Records' Bandcamp page. These two pre-release tarcks clock in at just over a minute each, so this whole EP could, theoretically, be under five minutes... but they still rip! Both blue and white-colored vinyl copies of HOmo EP are currently available to pre-order on Bandcamp or directly from Static Shock's Limited Run site. STRONG BOYS' Homo EP is out 9/3 on Static Shock Records.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
