    The Queers are an American punk rock band, formed in 1981 by Portsmouth, New Hampshire native Joseph “Joe” P. King (a.k.a. Joe Queer) along with Scott Gildersleeve (a.k.a. Tulu), and John “Jack” Hayes (a.k.a. Wimpy Rutherford). With the addition of Keith Hages (ex-guitarist of Berlin Brats) joining on bass in 1983 the band started playing their first public performances.

    The Queers sound is a mix of The Ramones and The beachboys, which create that unique blend of "bubble gum rock", and "punk" sound mixed with social and political lyrics. Joe Queer has been publicly outspoken against Nazism and white supremacy over the years in various songs.

    I was a teenage bonehead was recorder on their second album titled "love songs for retarded" in 1993. Their first album record with Lookout! Record.

    Hi guys, here are the vocal tracks for your review. 2 lead vocals (double tracked) plus the background vocals. As always, I'm totally open to feedback, suggestions, redos, etc. Just say the word. Fun song! And it will be stuck in my head for days!

    @Gino Caron: It's the simplest beat, but it's a complicated groove. And it's really fast. I can hear what the drummer was doing but not quite figure out how to do it.

    @Bob : im sure it sounds good. Don't have to do exactly like the original. I rarely play covers the "proper" way! Im on the road, I'll listen and publish it later. Thanks Bob! You rock!
