Gen And The Degenerates have announced details of their debut album, ANTI-FUN PROPAGANDA.

The band – lead by Genevieve Glynn-Reeves (she/they) – will be releasing their first full-length on February 23, 2024 via Marshall.

It’s taking a satirical look at celebrity culture, materialism, and where we draw our self-worth from, but it’s masquerading as a sexy, unrequited love song.
