The Queers are an American punk rock band, formed in 1981 by the Portsmouth, New Hampshire native Joe P. King along with Scott Gildersleeve, and Jack Hayes. With the addition of Keith Hages in 1982 the band started playing their first live shows.

Corporate Citizen formed in 2017 heavily influenced by melodic hardcore reminiscent of bands from the 90’s. The original line-up consisted of Dan Achin (Drums), Hal Hannon (Bass), Bob Meder (Vocals), Steve O’Brien (Guitar) and Louis Ramsey (Guitar). In the summer of 2019 Hal Hannon left the band and Mike Ruggiero joined to fill his spot. Around the same time, Steve Diaz joined as our 3rd guitar player. All the members draw from their years of playing music and touring with bands such as Grey Area, Crown of Thornz and Pridebowl. In the fall of 2017, the band released the “What Would He Do?” EP and played extensively in San Diego opening for bands such as the Freeze and Ignite. Their new record “A Brief Moment of Sanity” is the first full length and being distributed by El Topo Records. The new album is a progression from the “loud, fast, rules” feel of the “What Would He Do?” to a more polished, focused set of songs dealing with everyday life and the impact of the current state of the country. Corporate Citizen blends a high-energy live show with a new album of music that can sometimes be considered post-hardcore to the traditional hardcore punk. “A Brief Moment of Sanity” will remind you why you still listen to the hardcore of your youth.
