Ste McCabe

Ste McCabe is Manchester's political queer pop-punkster, blending big punk guitars and 80s-style beats with a snarling, sarcastic view of the world. Ste's been playing at various queer, riot grrrl and DIY events in the UK since summer 2006 and the "Pink Bomb" EP, his debut release, wowed musos and audiences around the country full to the brim with homophobe-baiting, pro-feminist, anti-church, fun and angry pop music. The follow-up full-length Hate Mail continued the trend, with its stinging indictments of stereotypical gay culture and men who are a complete waste of space to right-on-the-mark sniping at Daily Mail readers and the hopelessness of Party politics. Ste's second album, Murder Music, was released on Cherryade in October 2008, lauded as being even more biting and polarising than the first! You can buy Ste's albums from the sales page here. To give you a taste of what you can expect, you can watch the video for "Militant Disco", taken from Murder Music and featuring fellow Mancunian performer David Hoyle, below!
