These songs didn’t exactly fit on Walk Out On This World , the album they released last August so they ended up holding on to them. They would have fit much better on their 2011 album Too Young To Be in Love, which was essentially a ‘50s girl group record with a twist - the main singer was a flamboyant queer man. They were once referred to as The Faggot Shangri-Las by the British press, which they immediately took as a compliment, even though it was not intended to be taken that way. Growing up on Shangri-Las and Ronettes albums was something all of the band members had in common. These songs pick up where that album left off.

“Dead To Me” is a classic girl group revenge banger about wishing an evil sociopath would disappear forever, with Shannon Shaw leading the perfect girl group chorus.

“Strange Town Where Men Aren’t Wanted” is an ode to a town where men aren’t welcome. Hunx, AKA Seth Bogart has a hard time accepting that he isn’t allowed in as he’s never really identified as a man or a woman, but somewhere in between. When he was a teenager in the 90s, there was no option to identify as nonbinary. In the hellscape of the world we’re currently living in, this song feels relevant as men are constantly destroying  everything. Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a town where men aren’t wanted?
