Philadelphia's HIRS Collective are a fiercely political queer and trans grindcore force, blending blast-beat fury with sludgy punk, digital-grind, and hardcore chaos — all in service of celebrating and defending marginalized communities. Their landmark 2018 album Friends. Lovers. Favorites. — featuring Shirley Manson, Laura Jane Grace, and Marissa Paternoster — earned praise from NPR as "a ruthless mixture" that goes far beyond genre, while their 2023 follow-up We're Still Here brought in over 35 collaborators including Frank Iero and Pierce Jordan. See them live at Moroccan Lounge on Friday, April 10!
