Team Dresch share a second song from their first album since 1996

Queercore pioneers Team Dresch shared a second track from Furthermore, their first album since 1996, "Growing Underground," alongside a stop-motion shadow puppet video from artists who worked on Coraline and ParaNorman.

The video was directed by Jason Thibodeaux and Cynthia Star, both Laika stop-motion veterans, alongside Ponyboy and Team Dresch guitarist Kaia Wilson. Its silhouetted imagery draws on queer historical references, matching a song the band says is about "chosen families, interconnection, and the networks that have always sustained one another."

Team Dresch formed in Portland, Oregon in 1993, when Donna Dresch, Kaia Wilson, Jody Bleyle and drummer Marceo Martinez turned basement practices into a lifeline for queer punks without representation. Their 1995 debut Personal Best was recently named one of the greatest punk albums of all time by Rolling Stone, and 1996 follow-up Captain My Captain introduced drummer Melissa York; the band is now a five-piece with both Martinez and York behind the kit.

Furthermore arrives September 18 via Jealous Butcher, three decades after that second album. The band brings the new material to London's Downstairs at The Dome on September 30, part of a European run through Switzerland and Germany, plus US dates including an August support slot with the Breeders and an October hometown show with Heavens to Betsy. The reunion marks a rare comeback in queercore rock.
