Queercore

London’s queercore scene is on fire right now and Loverboy’s Fallon Gold spoke to some of the multifarious lovelies involved to get the lowdown on the lofi world of pink punk.

Of course we wanted to know ‘why Judy?’ and their knowledge and enthusiasm for Jude’s place in the American […]
