Cub Sport Frontman Tim Nelson Creates His Soundtrack of Pride
Which tracks helped Cub Sport Frontman Tim Nelson in his formative years?
We all have those songs that are forever ingrained in our coming-of-age stories. Songs that gave us hope, played during our first kiss, helped us feel fierce, or simply helped us understand ourselves a little bit better. This is oftentimes particularly true for LGBTQ artists.
Throughout the month of June, and only on PRIDE, LGBTQ+ artists are curating and sharing playlists that reflect their formative years—their Soundtracks of Pride.
Cub Sport frontman Tim Nelson handpicked a playlist of songs that helped him in his formative years.
"I was kind of sheltered from the queer world growing up," Nelson told PRIDE. "I was raised in a religious environment and being queer was most often associated with shame rather than pride. I repressed a lot of emotions and feelings as a way to try and be the person I thought I was meant to be but music was something that made me feel connected to my myself. It turns out a lot of my favourite songs growing up were by queer artists and allies! This playlist is a mix of old and new songs that make me feel understood and emotionally connected."
