Laura Jane Grace<\/a> In The Trauma Tropes<\/strong>, Grace’s latest project with her wife, Paris Campbell Grace (vocals), Jacopo \u201cJack\u201d Fokas (bass) and Orestis Lagadinos (drums), is marking Pride month with an anthem of acceptance called\u00a0‘Wearing Black’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It sees the quartet pay tribute to the black cloth-wearing punks and goths who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.\u00a0‘Wearing Black’<\/em> is Grace as lyrically fearless as ever, blending humour, love for the LGBTQ+ community, and political defiance. It’s wrapped up in a sharp, rebellious punk rock skin with a snappy, powerpop hook.<\/p>\n

It’s the latest track to be released from Laura Jane Grace In The Trauma Tropes<\/strong>‘\u00a0<\/strong>forthcoming album,\u00a0‘Adventure Club’<\/em>. The album is released through\u00a0Polyvinyl Co.<\/strong> on July 18th. It’ll feature previous singles\u00a0‘Active Trauma,’<\/em><\/a>\u00a0‘Mine Me Mine,’<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0‘Your God (God’s Dick)’<\/a><\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

The record is the result of a transformative artist residency in Athens, Greece, last year. Laura and Paris immersed themselves in local punk scenes, culture, and camaraderie. What began as a one-off collaboration with Greek musicians evolved into a full-length record co-written with the band that would be named The Trauma Tropes<\/strong>. Fueled by adventure, community, and a spirit of personal evolution, the album blends protest and playfulness in equal measure. It’s a bold, reflective work that redefines what it means to be punk at 44.<\/p>\n
