Laura Jane Grace, formerly frontwoman of Against Me!, has released a new single titled “Wearing Black”, part of her upcoming album Adventure Club with her current project, Laura Jane Grace and the Trauma Tropes. Known for blending personal narrative with political defiance, Grace’s latest track continues in that tradition, combining punk-pop dynamics with direct, evocative lyrics.
“Wearing Black” stands out as both a celebration and critique—offering sharp commentary on identity, resistance, and visibility, particularly within queer spaces. Musically, it leans into driving rhythms and anthemic hooks, with Grace delivering lines that assert personal pride as a form of protest rather than pageantry. It’s a vivid expression of punk ethos adapted for contemporary struggles.
Adventure Club was written and recorded during a creative period in Athens, Greece, with a new lineup that brings international energy to the record. The album follows a series of solo and collaborative works from Grace, continuing her evolution as a singular voice in punk.
The release of “Wearing Black” arrives alongside a slate of live shows across North and Latin America, reinforcing Grace’s position as both a vital performer and a political presence in today’s punk landscape.
