Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution: An Oral History by Walter Crasshole, Yony Leyser, Liam Warfield, Lynn Breedlove, and Anna Joy Springer
Queercore gets a down-to-details firsthand account of the movement explored through the people that lived it—from punk's early queer elements to the moments, Toronto kids decided they needed to create a scene that didn't exist, to the infiltration of the mainstream by Pansy Division, and the emergence of riot grrrl as a sister movement—as well as the clothes, zines, art, film, and music that made this movement an exciting, in-your-face middle finger to complacent gay and straight society.

Clutch - Clutch
From the other side of the country, Clutch tapped into the California stoner and desert rock sound on their self-titled 1995 album
While stoner and desert rock has been associated primarily with California bands like Kyuss, Fu Manchu, and Sleep, in reality, artists across the country were putting their own spin on Black Sabbath's tracks like "Sweet Leaf" for decades. Bands like Monster Magnet in New Jersey, Corrosion of Conformity in North Carolina, and Clutch in Maryland have each contributed to 90s rock and beyond. On Clutch's sophomore self-titled album from 1995, the band tone down their freshman punk and louder tendencies, dialing back the distortion and locking into 70s psychedelic head-nodding grooves paired with the occasional frantic jammy freak out. The dividing line for listeners is vocalist Neil Fallon, who possesses one of the most otherworldly heavy voices that can bellow with the best, but is unafraid to explore funkier, sing-songy melodies that may not be for everyone.
