Tom chats to CJ, singer in Manchester-based hardcore band Dead Retinas. CJ discusses his experience performing on stage in a leather sex harness, how tolerant metal and hardcore crowds are when really pushed, plus a little more general background about the bear tribe itself.

Elsewhere, Iron Maiden's The Wicker Man gets a queer reinterpretation for this week's Camp Classic, where Tom and Matt find a surprising amount of overlap in the common LGBT+ experiences the track evokes.

Plus this episode's additions to the Hate Crew Gaybar jukebox are Cara Neir's new album Phase Out, and The Design Abstract's latest record Technotheism.

Also includes chat about how to accidentally offend work colleagues with your music taste, and what links Lady Gaga with death metal.
