Queen Zee Debut Album Out Friday
- Written by Marky Edison
With their self-titled, debut album out tomorrow and an eight date UK set for February, dynamic Merseyside noise punk outfit Queen Zee have released their latest single, ‘Loner’, out now via the band’s own label Sasstone Records.
The tongue-in-cheek album opener is a bouncing, ska-infused anthem and firm live favourite full of Queen Zee’s unique brand of sass. The anarchic, enigmatic band have rapidly established a cult following over the last year as they continue to defy conventions and subvert what it means to be a band. The album’s 10 racing tracks perfectly capture the mania of their now-infamous live show, and firmly cements them as torch-bearers of a new generation of British guitar bands.
2018 was an explosive year for Queen Zee, culminating in a full UK tour in support of Dream Wife and a riotous hometown headline show in Liverpool. Queen Zee won PRS Flash Funding at The Great Escape Festival, which enabled them to put their madness into this debut record, and were also awarded PRS Momentum Funding to continue the journey. Fronted by the peculiar and direct Zena Davine (aka Queen Zee), the band is completed by co-founding member and multi-instrumentalist Jason Taylor-Brown, Frankie Wortho (Bass & Vocals), Ash Summers (Keys, Percussion & Vocals) and Dave Bloom (Drums & Percussion).
