Queer masculine crust band recommendations?
I'm searching for the trans men, mascs, butches, genderqueer, genderfluid,.... For people like me.
I'm aware of The Oozes, but that's about it. :/

They are more hardcore, but some of their stuff has that metallic edge that hits real similar to some early crust.

Kinda leans more into hardcore than crust, but G.L.O.S.S is pretty sick

I love G.L.O.S.S., but as far as I'm aware, they're all trans women

Damn, guess I still can’t read. If you’re into death metal, my homies play in a band called Ectospire. Not specific to trans masc, just trans/queer culture in general. Don’t think the lyrics are reflective of that, but they’re very up front about it being what they center themselves around.

Nope just the vocalist Sadie is a trans woman, the other members are variously queer. None trans masc though, to my knowledge

Ah, interesting! Their "they told us we were girls, how we live, laugh, ? and cry. they told us we were girls, so we claimed our femals live. they told us we were girls, our feminity doesn't fit we're fucking future girls living outside of society's shit." read so much as trans woman / fem / feminin aligned genderqueer to me (i'm amazed of how much I actually rember of their lyrics)

2 members (at least) are genderqueer/non-binary (jake from physique, tannr from cyberplasm) and there were 2 cis (or at least not trans) girls too, Julaya (spelling?) and Corey. So like a femme, femme-adjacent queer stew

Seems like you might need to start your own group on this specific of a request. So D.I.Y. on this one. If you do start something share it one of these days. Either way good luck on the search.

Warpath had queer members but its been so long since they broke I can't tell you any specifics.

limp wrist? again more hardcore punk but definitely fit into the crusty scene in the late 90s

u/ZeroThePenguin 3d ago
And you could always go Los Crudos for a bit more crusty sound and the same members.

If I’m correct the only trans member (Cher) hasn’t been in the band for quite some time, but is on the first LP. I think the rest are reg NYC folks (no offense intended if incorrect)

u/Mogshade_Owhll 3d ago
What's that Sludge band who always had pictures of their ginger cat? Bugger old age my memory is getting awful. Is it Vile creature?

u/thateejxo 3d ago
A tad more in the vain of fast-as-all-hell queercore, buuuut Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live if you’re looking for a lesser appreciated band in that wheelhouse

Body Void? Not really crust per se, but worth checkin. I think I tradeed that guy an iron maiden lp for a tshirt back in the day

Still heartbroken that my old band homoterror never recorded anything. I fronted (trans masc gender fucked butch) and we were all trans and queer. All of our music was based in being trans and the shit we had to deal with. Maybe it's just time I try and get that going again.

Tribe 8 is not crust, moreso west coast 90s punk but their front Lynn Breedlove is butch/trans and they have pretty funny lyrics + some good licks. Snarkism and By The Time We Get to Colorado are my 2 fav albums/eps of theirs

While Physique doesn't exactly write about queer identity stuff, most if not all of the band members are queer. If you fuck with rawpunk, a band worth recommending is DISPHORIA. They're broken up, but made some absolutely ripping rawpunk all about being trans. Another good one that isn't crust specific but is noizy hellish queer punk is B.R.A.T. (not to be confused with the hardcore band Brat). Killer noize out of Maryland, unsure if they're still making music. Be Ready Attack Them! Also worth mentioning NO FUCKER, if my scattered memory serves me both JJ and Johnny are gay but as with Physique they don't really sing specifically about anything queer. Just more killer rawpunk haha all the bands above are on bandcamp by the by
