The Queers, an American punk rock band, were formed in 1981 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire by Joseph “Joe” P. King (a.k.a. Joe Queer), Scott Gildersleeve (a.k.a. Tulu), and John “Jack” Hayes (a.k.a. Wimpy Rutherford). Influenced by bands like the Ramones and Black Flag, they released their first EP, Love Me, in 1982, followed by Kicked Out of the Webelos in 1984. After several lineup changes and hiatuses, The Queers signed with Shakin' Street Records in 1990 to release their debut album, Grow Up. Their following grew significantly with the release of Love Songs for the Retarded on Lookout! Records in 1993. In 2006, they rescinded their master rights from Lookout! and signed with Asian Man Records. Notable albums include Everything's Ok, Punk Rock Confidential.
