The Queers

The Queers é uma banda de punk rock americana formada em 1982 por Portsmouth, New Hampshire[1] de Hampshire Joe King (A.K.A. Joe Queer). Supostamente, o nome 'Queers' foi usado simplesmente para empurrar o divertimento no que ele chamou a comunidade de Art Fag no New Hampshire. A banda originalmente rompeu-se em 1984, mas reformou com Joe Queer e uma nova formação em linha em 1990.
