Deptford Sound Collective’s #KissMyArse The Queer Fight Back : A Bold Indie Protest Anthem
I think these days politics gets exhausting, especially when people use pop culture to tear others down. Can’t everyone co-exist peacefully without fighting each other? Well “after Holly Valance released a politically controversial single that drew criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates, a group of South East London creators decided to give the ultimate answer. The Deptford Sound Collective just released “#KissMyArse The Queer Fight Back“. And what this song does is, it takes the exact title used against them, flips it on its head, and turns a hateful message into a huge celebration. The track skips depressing drama and goes straight for high-energy resistance.

Built on a Heartland rock revival foundation mixed with bouncy indie-pop, the song opens with a steady, driving drum beat. Bright guitars and a catchy bassline quickly take over, creating a sound made for massive speakers. Where the original song leans into confrontation, this response brings tons of wit. The vocal delivery is loaded with sharp satire, playful banter, and total attitude. It balances a classic 1960s protest feel with a modern dance floor rhythm. “#KissMyArse The Queer Fight Back” carries a clear message: love and creativity will always beat hate.
Instead of matching anger with bitterness, the song uses humor and joy as its main weapons. It proves that free speech works both ways, if someone uses a microphone to spread division, you can grab a bigger one, turn up the bass, and sing louder. It transforms an intended insult into a shield of pure pride. “#KissMyArse The Queer Fight Back” is loud, fun, and completely fearless. It turns a tough situation into an uplifting party track that demands your attention. The single is streaming everywhere now. Head over to your favorite streaming platform, and join the fight back!
