Those Fucking Snowflakes return with a vengeance on ‘Straight Pride Month’, a furious, sardonic blast of noise-punk protest, featuring the legendary Tom Robinson on backing vocals.
Musically, it’s a wild, genre-blending ride; jazz-inflected rhythms crash into heavy breakdowns, with the band’s signature time-bending chaos creating a sound that teeters on the edge of collapse. It’s a defiant anthem that matches its righteous message with raw energy. At its heart, ‘Straight Pride Month’ is a brutally direct callout of homophobic grievance culture, the kind that whines about equality while clinging to their privilege.
The lyrics take aim at the absurdity of straight people demanding their own pride month, exposing the ignorance behind that sentiment with sharp wit and unflinching honesty. The inclusion of a historical audio sample grounds the song in the real violence LGBTQ+ communities have faced, a powerful counterpoint to the sarcasm that follows.
Tom Robinson’s presence isn’t just symbolic, his unmistakable voice helps elevate the chorus into a gang-chant moment of defiance. For a band rooted in DIY ethics and anarchic energy, collaborating with a queer punk icon like Robinson is both a statement of solidarity and a landmark moment.
