about

The first release for Trouser Dress is an incredibly catchy uplifting singalong tune that will have you sticking it on repeat for days on end!

Being genderqueer in a world that seems so obsessed and complicit with the gender binary is draining and can be isolating if you don't have the right people around you. Support groups for non-binary people are few and far between,- I couldn't just find this space, I had to find others like me and we had to build our own space from nothing, and that's what this song is about. I wrote this song about my own feelings towards my gender identity with the hopes that someone else out there might feel the same, and be comforted that they aren't as alone as we can sometimes feel when we have to fight to be recognised for who we really are.

lyrics

Mushrooms are growing in my chest, replace my organs with dust,
Fill me up with wooden branches so I can pray that it’s enough

I don’t see things quite like you do, body and brain are split in two
Pills and needles, gel and patches to end this whole hullabaloo

Ivy wraps around my fingers keeping me weighed down,
It is difficult living in Devil Town
Diamond stars will follow me wherever I do roam,
It is lovely upon this shattered throne

Ash is falling from my eyes, the world can see through this disguise
Hold it together with bits of leather, don’t hurt this body I despise

Ivy wraps around my fingers keeping me weighed down,
It is difficult living in Devil Town
Diamond stars will follow me wherever I do roam,
It is lovely upon this shattered throne

Ivy wraps around my fingers keeping me weighed down,
It is difficult living in Devil Town
Diamond stars will follow me wherever I do roam,
It is lovely upon this shattered throne

More Than This
by Beth Pilling

I first saw Beth live at a Hull University open day and have been in love with her style since. Saw her again at The Sesh with a few friends and a friend fell just as in love as I am. TROUSER DRESS

I opened for this band at their first ever gig and their energy was just amazing. They're all so cool too and their music is even cooler. TROUSER DRESS
