The Queers are an American pop punk band formed in 1982 by Portsmouth, New Hampshire native Joe King (A.K.A. Joe Queer). Supposedly, the name 'Queers' was used simply to poke fun at what he called the "Art Fag" community in New Hampshire. The band originally broke up in 1984, but reformed with Joe Queer and a new line-up in 1990. That year, the band signed with Shakin' Street Records and released their first album Grow Up.

  • The Queers are an American pop punk band formed in 1982 by Portsmouth, New Hampshire native Joe King (A.K.A. Joe Queer). Supposedly, the name 'Queers' was used simply to poke fun at what he called the "Art Fag" community in New Hampshire. The band originally broke up in 1984, but reformed with Joe Queer and a new line-up in 1990. That year, the band signed with Shakin' Street Records and released their first album Grow Up. The album earned the band notoriety within New England, but with the release of their next album 1993's Love Songs for the Retarded, on Lookout! Records, their following grew to larger proportions. In 2006, after releasing six albums on Lookout!, the band rescinded their master rights from the label, citing breach of contract over unpaid royalties. Later that year they signed with Asian Man Records.

  • The Queers est un groupe punk américain fondé en 1982 dans le New Hampshire, aux États-Unis. Le chanteur et guitariste Joe King a pris le nom de scène de Joe Queer. Le nom du groupe caractérise bien le côté humoristique du trio. En anglais, queer réfère à l'homosexualité, alors qu'aucun membre des Queers n'est homosexuel. La plupart des chansons traite de sujet légers, tels la bière et les filles, et Joe Queer refuse depuis plus de deux décennies de véhiculer un quelconque message politique avec sa musique, préférant jouer du punk rock pour le simple plaisir de jouer vite, et fort. Il a d'ailleurs eu maille à partir ces dernières années avec des groupes street punk, en particulier les Dropkick Murphys qu'il accuse, avec d'autres formations punk, de faire en sorte que «la scène punk actuelle (ou ce qu'il en reste) est pleine de trous de cul qui ne veulent que se battre». Le bassiste Philip Hill et le batteur Lurch Nobody complètent le trio The Queers en 2006, mais au cours des années, il y eut de très nombreux changements au sein du groupe, King étant le seul membre fondateur toujours présent. Hugh O'Neill, batteur de 1993 à 1998, est décédé le 21 janvier 1999 après une longue bataille contre le cancer du cerveau.
