"I saw you from across the pit, your eyes locked into mine, and we nodded cuz we both wanted it" – a Limp Wrist lyric Limp Wrist are pissed-off and proud punkrock homos, and they're in New Zealand this week for a few ear-splitting shows. Martin, Andrew, Scott and Paul, from cities dotted all over the United States, joined their punk rock talents together five years ago to “Put the ‘Queer' back into ‘Queercore'. The ‘Queercore' movement is an offshoot of punk, expressing itself in anti-commercialist DIY style through music, writing, art and film. Discontented with general society, the Queercore movement also believes the mainstream gay and lesbian community share it's oppressive agenda. As guitarist Scott Moore says, “I'm not a boring gay man. I'm a freak. I have no desire to be part of the straight world.” The band's best-known song is ‘I Love Hardcore Boys, I Love Boys Hardcore', and other songs like ‘Fake Fags Fuck Off' and ‘Don't Knock It Till You've Tried It' celebrate the band's queer identity in a punk world which can be prone to homophobia and thuggishness. Limp Wrist's NZ Tour: WEDNESDAY 17TH JANUARY: 9pm at Supermarket, under Family bar, K Rd, Auckland. With Streetkunt, Tentacles of Destruction
