The philosophy of Denton hardcore/punk riot Homewrecker & the Bedwetters lies within aptly-titled EP Vol 2: Gay, onstage, and full of rage. Downright ferocious while sporting a flair for the nonconforming, the trans-fronted and -backed trio storms the surging Texas DIY scene with gut-wrenching vocals and thrashing, breakneck rhythms. A crash-course curriculum begins with governor-rebuking ripper “Greg Abbott Hate Song” before the band banishes bigots and misogynists with a melodica solo and crunching breakdown in “Fem 4 All.” Offering a good ol’ fashioned mosh pit for all, Homewrecker joins FUCK MONEY, bodyplan, and Capture Phase.
