Sister George was an English queercore band from London that was formed in 1994. The group's name was inspired by the 1968 film The Killing of Sister George, which was an adaptation of the play of the same name. Label owner Naylor said of the band's relation to mainstream gay culture, "To me, the gay lifestyle is getting to be like just another alternative lifestyle. You go down Old Compton Street in Soho and see them sitting there in nice coffee bars with their pink pounds - and these (Sister George) are 20-year-old kids who are angry and on the dole."
