DS Exclusive: Dog Park Dissidents unleash “Out With A Bang,” lead single from their upcoming Say-10 Records double LP “Magnificent Bastards”
Happy hump day, comrades!
We’ve got another super rad debut for you today. It comes to us from everyone’s Long Island/Philly/New Orleans-based queer punks, Dog Park Dissidents!
The five-piece are slated to put out a mammoth double LP on Say-10 Records later this year. It’s called Magnificent Bastards, and the lead single is a ripper called “Out With A Bang” that’s due out this Friday, but we get to bring it to you bright and early! Here’s what the band has to say about the track, which serves as the closer of the double album:
“Out With A Bang” is the final song off our upcoming concept album and comic book about queer supervillains trying to stop the climate crisis. It’s a song about a future Nuremberg trial for fossil fuel barons where they all get executed in the flooded streets. We’re putting out the ending track as an introduction, because it sums up all the themes we’re going for: the rage and the grief we feel when we stare down a future that’s been stolen from us, the tightrope we walk between desperate hope and cynical nihilism, and the fucked up question of how long it’ll be before extreme violence is actually the only reasonable way to save the world. We don’t see this as a departure from our work as a queercore band, because we can’t be free to be queer if we’re all dead in an apocalypse. That’s why we’ve made this video of a campy, green, glamorous post-apocalypse with an aesthetic inspired by comics and Mad Max.
Stay tuned for more info about Magnificent Bastards in all its glory. As a fun teaser, we can tell you that it’s being released along with a companion comic book crafted by the one-and-only Mueritos!
