Editorial Reviews

Sophomore album for UK indie rock act formed from the ashes of Daisy Chainsaw. 'Not since Jane's Addiction has a rock band combined such a strong artistic bent with such unpredictability' - Kerrang!. 'With songs that are sharp stabs of guttural punk-devil rock dementia - Queen Adreena's star is emphatically born' NME. 2002.

You can never compare this band to anything you have heard before. Queenadreena are "power-drill in your stomach" hard, then rose-petal soft.

Every song on this album is a work of finest art, from the four drum-beats setting off "Pretty Like Drugs" to the bitter-sweet calm at the end of "For I Am The Way," Katiejane carries the listener through her world with the most brutal honesty. Her view of drugs as escapism through to her weight-problems in "My Silent Undoing."

Katiejane pushes her voice past boundaries ever thought possible, very often wavering from near asthmatic little girl to roaring devil. This is the beauty of this band. Pained lyrics teamed with amazing vocals, not to mention killer riffs and sledge-hammer drum beats (provided by Pete Howard - formely of "The Clash"),Queenadreena are not to be overlooked.

Oh, and I realise there is bit of a delay in getting album three over to the States, but just you guys wait.

"The Butcher and the Butterfly," takes the band to another level...

Drink Me is a return to the screaming and fright of the Daisy Chainsaw albums which featured the same guitarist and vocalist as Queen Adreena. However the melody of the previous album 'Taxidermy' is not lost. My favorite track on the album 'Sleeping Pill' is like a drug-fueled lullaby. The production on this and other songs is just amazing. There's such a contrast of different sounds on this single album. Very natural and raw at times and, really, even the electric sounding 'Sleeping Pill' still maintains that raw sound. I highly recommend both QA albums and hopefully their next will actually be available in the United States.

My wife thinks I like Queen Adreena because I want to hear Katie Jane Garside's voice and pretend she's singing to / screaming at me (just me) on a set from A Clockwork Orange while I'm chewing a stick of Fruit Stripe. But that is kind of beside the point.
I also like Queen Adreena because they make music like this. No one else does.
