Great queercore rundown - a ctrl-F will find the Fairies, halfway down the page, but it's all worth reading.

opinionating
The Mukilteo Fairies were a strange beast - they were pretty much grindcore, but they had records on indie rock labels (KRS, YoYo), and queercore standardbearers Outpunk, so they got attention from all the indie rockahs who ordinarily wouldn't give heavy shit the time of day (it helped that they all were in/went on to be in more indie-rockin bands), and the grind scene didn't know they existed. Probably the first truly heavy underground band I heard (being that I have em on a mix tape, in between Lois and Heavenly, from about 1994) - my excitement about anything queercore overwhelmed my fear of loud and the rest is history....
