Youth Of Togay

I picked up the Youth Of Togay "Tossed Salad Days" LP:
Funnily enough, it was actually put out by a UK label. The vinyl is of medium quality. Better looking than the GZ product, but is a little rought around the edges (literally!).
The album itself is pretty interesting. A mix of original songs and gay parodies of several other well known hardcore songs. So we get "Banned in Tennessee" (Bad Brains), and "Get Gay!" (Get Real), as well as homosexual versions of songs by Righteous Jams, Youth Of Today, Slapshot, Champion, Project X and Mental.
The thing this has in its favour is that these dudes really are gay and are not just homophobic idiots making a joke record. Although, whether it's supposed to be a joke record or a serious record I'm not sure. Regardless, it held my attention for more than 5 minutes, which a lot of bands fail to do these days.
