The post-punk trio&#8217;s new album covers dark and heavy political and social themes, but always with a comic twist and pop sensibility to keep the vibe more playful and bratty. Produced by frontman Donnie Moore and engineered by Brian Fox, &#8216;Errors&#8217; is a collection of songs about people either mislabeled as &#8220;errors&#8221; by the general public just because they are misunderstood and different, or people that have horrible motivations or perceptions, making them actual &#8220;errors&#8221; of society. For example, the lead single <em>Strictly Top<\/em> is glam-rock style song with a humorous view on Donnie Moore&#8217;s sexuality, but it also doubles as a message for ignorant people to be more open-minded and accepting.<\/p>\n<p>To mark the album announcement, they&#8217;ve released the video for the album&#8217;s lead single <em>Strictly Top\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; check it out via YouTube below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GF4H16S6MhU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Donnie and his sister Madison Moore (who plays keys and sings backing vocals in the band) also run the beloved, long-running monthly LGBTQ rock event <a href=\"http:\/\/transmissionpublicity.dmanalytics1.com\/click?u=http%3A%2F%2Femptybottle.com%2Fblog%2Ftag%2Fglitter-creeps%2F&amp;i=12&amp;d=vEgEwgqhTK--BtCfltXE5g&amp;e=info%40cultureaddicts.com&amp;a=bldEshCMTAG1QkMXbvwHAQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glitter Creeps at The Empty Bottle<\/a> in their native Chicago.
