Oh, I from New York, it's get off my lawn with Gavin McKinnis.

I don't know if I can take much more of it.

What an awesome jam.

From Empty Graves, Midwestern, Grindcore, in the Quad Cities, that weird area,

South of Madison, near Chicago, whatever.

Can't get much more Midwest than the Quad Cities.

And I know what you're thinking when you hear this band.

You're like, good band, scary music, very post-apocalyptic.

We're living in post-apocalyptic times.

Very mad Max, but what are their views on trans?

Good news.

I've looked into it.

One, two.

This is the singer of the band you just heard.

Empty Graves stands on trans.

First of all, thank you very much.

Second of all, absolutely mad.

I made a video on this recently, but I think with a few prominent people in the scene coming out as transphobic,

it's kind of important to address these issues.

First of all, Empty Graves is very supportive of trans rights and trans people in general.

It's insane that in music and metal specifically, it's supposed to be kind of the most accepting that we're having people speaking out against trans people and trans rights.

I think the best thing that we can do on the other side is just be supportive and let you know that you're welcome and safe here.
