The singer-guitarist, who first gained notice in the punk band Against Me!, came out as a transgender woman in 2012 and announced plans to transition. She titled Against Me!’s final two albums Transgender Dysphoria Blues (2014) and Shape Shift With Me (2016).
Since then, she’s been recording as Laura Jane Grace and calls her latest band Laura Jane Grace in the Trauma Tropes. The group’s new single and video, “Wearing Black,” addresses the dilemma of being a punk or goth at a Pride Parade that’s filled with rainbows, sparkles and glitter. “My pride’s a riot, it’s not a parade,” Grace sings in the rollicking punk anthem, just in time for Pride Month.
You can see the video for “Wearing Black,” directed by Emily Esperanza, on YouTube.
The album is inspired by Grace’s time spent in Greece in the summer of 2024 when she joined a residency program in Athens. She ended up recording the album in Greece, when not hanging out at beaches and such tourist attractions as the Parthenon and Epidaurus and running the track at the Panathenaic Stadium, according to a press release.
Grace is touring this summer, beginning Friday, June 13 in Garwood, N.J. with dates running through Aug. 30 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Joining Grace in select markets are Murder By Death, Rodeo Boys, Trapper Schoepp and Team Nonexistent.
