Laura Jane Grace In The Trauma Tropes - "Mine Me Mine"

Laura Jane Grace's latest musical project is Laura Jane Grace In The Trauma Tropes, which is a collaboration with her wife Paris Campbell Grace (vocals) and Greek musicians Jacopo "Jack" Fokas (bass) and Orestis Lagadinos (drums). The group formed while Grace was in Greece for a monthlong songwriting retreat through the Onassis Foundation. Their latest single, "Mine Me Mine," is a ninety-three second burst of some of the finest pop punk you've ever heard. It's a high energy and bouncy song railing against capitalism, so it's a territory Grace knows quite well. If you have a love of pop punk, particularly fast and political pop punk, "Mine Me Mine" is going to be a dream come true for you. This one is guaranteed to be stuck in your head for days to come, which you certainly won't be complaining about.

You can listen to "Mine Me Mine" below. Adventure Club is due out July 18 on Polyvinyl, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Laura Jane Grace, check out the artist's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the song and include a June 27 show supporting Murder By Death's farewell tour at The Paradise in Boston.
