Oakland’s beloved LGBTQ+ punk band known for their full-throttle sound and belligerently joyful live shows, Middle-Aged Queers has released their unsolicited covers album. Entitled Greatest Hits, the album features renditions of songs by Faith No More, AFI, Taylor Swift, Mazzy Star, Bush, Dr. Know, and more!
Lead vocalist Shaun Osburn shared:
“Over the past four years, Middle-Aged Queers has concluded our recording sessions by covering one or two songs, if time allowed. By the end of 2025, we realized we had enough material to do a collection of previously unreleased covers, which we decided to title Greatest Hits as a self-deprecating nod to the fact that we don’t actually have any hits of our own! That’s show business for you!”
The vinyl edition of the album comes in a jacket personally hand-letterpress-printed by the lead singer, with purple vinyl available through Middle-Aged Queers’ Bandcamp and live shows. Additional copies on green vinyl are available through Sell The Heart Records in the United States and Engineer Records in the United Kingdom.
