Track of the Day: Pariah Piranha

​San Francisco is 7 x 7 miles of interlocking music communities, and local label Queer Control Records specifically looks after the LGBTIQQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning) segment of the noise-making population--acts based both here and abroad.

Their eclectic roster includes a rough 'n' ready trio from Pennsylvania called Pariah Piranha that hearkens back to the mid-'90s Northwest sound in a very raw, very real way. The group's killer single, "Green Rooms",  is fierce and urgent as the early grunge/riot grrrl days. The song brings up good memories of acts ranging from the Gits to Hammerbox to L7--especially in the kiss-offs ("Here's $20, buy yourself a clue."). Great stuff. It comes off group's brand new group's Queer Control record, People People, out this week.
