Queer feminist punks Jesus and his Judgemental Father release their sophomore full-length, It Might Get Better, out on Specialist Subject 1st September 2017. Based in Leeds, Jesus and his Judgemental Father specialise in melodic punk that combines high energy sing-alongs with shredding guitar and three-part harmonies, drawing influence from the likes of Against Me!, rvivr, Tegan and Sara, and Martha. Although not afraid of distortion, it never gets in the way of their message: being queer is great, stick with your friends. Following their self-released debut Kings and Queens back in 2012, It Might Get Better takes on a more nuanced sound. Energetic throughout, the album blasts through nine queer pop songs without neglecting the intricacies of layered guitars, vocal harmonies, and effects that blend blues rock solos seamlessly into pop anthems. Through dealing with topics such as queer acceptance (and queer heartbreak), mental health issues, misogyny, and family rejection, the band never lose sight of the strength found in friendships. The album features guest vocals from Naomi Stephens (Martha), Chrissy Barnacle, and Beth Gibbins (Demitaves).
