For fans of: The Queercore 90s

What they're saying: A review at the undrurrents blog calls the lone full-length from Longstocking “90’s alt rock greatness” with great pop instincts and a unique vibe when compared to the other queercore records of the day. Another rave review from Jimmy Draper on AllMusic calls Longstocking “one of the most underrated bands to emerge in the 1990s.” Continuing: “Once Upon a Time Called Now is nonstop pop-punk, a rollicking ruckus full of radio-ready anthems and singalongs that should appeal to fans of the Breeders and Team Dresch.”

What we say: Once Upon a Time Called Now is the queercore reissue we needed in the year of our lord 2021, with revised album art and on vinyl for the first time! For fans of other Jealous Butcher/Chainsaw/Candy Ass darlings like Team Dresch and Sleater-Kinney along with some early Liz Phair vibes. -K
