Run For Cover Records Drops Whirr Over Transphobic Tweets Toward G.L.O.S.S.

San Francisco Bay area's Whirr have been on Run For Cover Records for some time now, releasing three EPs, one of their own and two splits, but now, that relationship has come to an end due to some homophobic slurs that the band posted to their Twitter page.

The Tweets, which were directed at trans-feminist punk band G.L.O.S.S. from Olympia, Washington, have since been deleted, but according to Noisey, they read:

G.L.O.S.S. released a five-track demo of transgender anthems (that are pretty kick-ass, we might add) a few months back that have seemed to have a major influence on the trans community. You can listen to the demo over at their Bandcamp page.

Run For Cover Records has since responded via Twitter to the shoegazy indie band, basically stating that they do not approve of their demeanor and are officially severing ties with the client. Their official statement has yet-to-be released.

The Internet also responded with a multitude of responsive tweets towards the band and its unaccepting comments, most of which the band retweeted, adding insult to injury and further showing how they think this whole thing is a big joke. We're not sure who's laughing now that they are out a record label, however.
