BROOKLYN VEGAN PREMIERE: HOT GLUE GUN

Atlanta's Lesibu Grand make music that pulls from punk, indie, new wave, glam, etc, and though it sounds upbeat and fun, their lyrics often take on serious issues. Recent single "WFS" (aka "We Fucking Suck") addresses the way the US poorly handles gun control/violence, housing, poverty, healthcare, voting rights, and criminal justice (and Afropunk called it "the punk anthem we need"), and frontperson Tyler-Simone says new single "Hot Glue Gun" is a followup to "WFS." "With 'Hot Glue Gun,' we harness the same '80s punk rock energy but direct it in a more positive direction."

"In the song, the hot glue gun is a symbol of the DIY ethic and a reminder that we, as members of a democracy, already have the tools we need to fix our government; activism, community engagement, and of course, the vote," Tyler-Simone continues. "On another level, the hot glue gun is commonly used in cosplay culture to build costumes. In the right hands it transforms people into their favorite characters and reclaims popular culture for those once marginalized."
