Formed in 2016, the band started out delivering moody cabaret-inspired sing-a-longs like their debut single “Drag for a Queen.” The song and accompanying music video features a drag-inspired story digging in as a harsh critique of conversion therapy. In November 2019, the band debuted a darker, heavier tone to their agenda in the form of their first EP "Hand Me Down Kingdom Come." Opening track “Better Looking Boy” pummels the listener with a pounding stop-and-go pulse of densely laid guitars. The song whose lyrics pay homage to a popular gay hookup app was also released with its own standalone mobile app–an interactive experience that draws listeners more into the song’s underbelly with a taste of tribute and double-edged satire.
While focusing on songwriting during the pandemic, the Lavender Scare overhauled their sound for an even bigger sonic palette drawing influences from shoegaze, indie anthem rock, and 80’s goth rock among others. In January 2022, the band debuted their latest single "Kiss Me Till I Die" and will follow up with a slate of new releases including “Pastel Skin,” "Tall Grass,” “Red Letter Edition,” and more. Check out "Kiss Me Till I Die" available now on all streaming platforms.
