Beers, Steers + Queers (stylized as BEERS, STEERS + QVEERS: THE ALBVM) is the second studio album by AmericanBelgian industrial rock band Revolting Cocks. Released in May 1990, the album was supported by three singles and was reissued several times. Its sound is industrial and built upon repetitive percussion and samples.[5][6] David Jeffries of AllMusic described Beers, Steers + Queers as dominating college radio and clubs.[7] The album's supporting tour was recalled by Chris Connelly as "ridiculous" and particularly chaotic.[8]
