In pictures: Kerrang!’s Kerristmas! party 2024
Like Noddy Holder almost sang, it’s Kerriiiiiiiiistmaaaaaas!! Here’s what went down at our festive bash last night.
Listen to NOAHFINNCE’s new track SCUMBAG, which calls out those “who hide their hatred of trans people behind the guise of ‘protecting women and children’”.
As their Goopy Goopers tour comes to an end, pop-punk star NOAHFINNCE has dropped brand-new single, SCUMBAG, which rages against those with transphobic views.
“SCUMBAG is a diss track for transphobes and TERFs who hide their hatred of trans people behind the guise of 'protecting women and children'," says NOAHFINNCE. "I thought things would only get better when I came out as trans in 2017, but the rise in anti-trans rhetoric and anti-trans legislation in the past few years has truly astonished me – people are parroting the same shit they said about gay people 50 years ago.
"I’m tired of politicians and well-respected celebrities coming out and manufacturing this idea that trans people are dangerous and infringing on other peoples rights, when the reality is that we just want to be left alone to live our lives in peace. The data is and has always been on our side, but the increased effort to scapegoat us has had detrimental effects on our community."
After a string of singles earlier this year including Growing Up On The Internet and I Know Better, NOAHFINNCE is now working on his debut album.
In February he'll be heading out with Enter Shikari on their headline arena tour. Get your tickets now.
