Laura Jane Grace in the Trauma Tropes - "Wearing Black"

Photo by Bella Peterson

Laura Jane Grace has released a new single with her latest musical project (which also features her wife Paris Campbell Grace, Jacopo "Jack" Fokas, and Orestis Lagadinos) just in time for Pride. "Wearing Black" is a punk rock rager about wearing black to the Pride parade. It's an intense and joyous song about acceptance that is perfect to both pogo and dance to. It's not quite a pop punk song, but it is filled with plenty of pop hooks and it's as catchy as anything else Grace has ever released. 

You can watch the NSFW video for "Wearing Black" below. Adventure Club is due out July 18 on Polyvinyl Record Co., and is available for pre-order here.
