Valentine’s Day • Pansy Division

[rating=4]
Released January 1996
Pansy Division’s Valentine’s Day takes a humorous stab at love, lust, and loneliness, backed with their signature brand of poppy punk rock.

“Soaked in Pansy Division’s signature sauce of pop-flavored power chord punk rock, backed with Ginoli’s snarky humor, the title cut tells the story of what should really be called ‘Single Awareness Day’.”

[rating=5]
Released February 1, 1994.
Green Day. Dookie. A loud, rock ‘n’ roll pop record that flew in the face of the seriousness of grunge & alternative & was just fun.

“When this album came out in 1994, grunge was still king and this album tore it down and left it to stagger along with a noticeable limp.”

Undressed • Pansy Division

[rating=5]
Released March, 1993

This is out and proud gay punk, completely up front and not hiding behind metaphors.

“It’s the defiance and frankness of the lyrics that sets this album apart from the catalogue of ‘gay music’. Up until this point, most songs catering to a gay audience were soaked in metaphor and coded lyrics.”
