The Gay Agenda prep debut LP (stream "Homo Riot" ft. The Locust's Justin Pearson)

San Diego’s self-described “homo riot hardcore punks” The Gay Agenda formed in 2017, released a self-titled EP in 2018, and now they’re releasing their first full-length album, Penetrating, on June 5 via La Escalara Records (pre-order). We’re premiering the song “Homo Riot,” which features guest screams by fellow San Diego musician Justin Pearson (of The Locust, Retox, and more), and it’s a serious rager. The band cites such influences as Limp Wrist, The HIRS Collective, Napalm Death, Tragedy and Disrupt, and if you like any or all of those, you’re probably gonna like this too. It’s gnarly, whiplash-inducing hardcore, and though Justin Pearson’s instantly recognizable voice is a nice touch, he never overshadows Gay Agenda vocalist David Hurtt, who’s got a killer scream of his own. Listen and check out the artwork and tracklist (including a vinyl-only Bjork cover) below.
