    Shawna Potter, writing for Noisey:


    I bet a lot of people imagine the Warped Tour as a sea of white men (dude-bros to be more specific), endlessly combing their hair in front of their eyes or pounding beers or texting underage girls and sometimes playing music. That’s harsh, I know, and thank goodness it’s not really like that. Not totally. But for every kernel of truth in that stereotype, our band is happy to offer a true alternative, to talk and sing about reproductive justice, trans rights, and rape culture.

    The good thing about WOM getting popular is that a band that doesn't sound like trash may be influenced to sing about the same topics.

    Let's hold our breath until we disappear

    I first saw them open for Refused in 2015, and I was blown away. Really special band.

    Cool idea. but it would be cooler if they did a live castration of the dude from FPS and Austin Jones onstage.
