McQueen - Like I care/ You leave me dead

Review by Ellen

Vocals - Leah Duors
Drums- Haley Cramer
Guitars- Cat de Casanove
Bass & backing vocals- Hattie Williams

The female Brighton quartet formed in the late part of 2003. Since then they have been playing live shows across the U.K. Their EP "Like I care/ You leave me dead" released 1st November, is an upfront in-your-face intro to all four girls. The vocals thrown out by lead singer Leah Duors resembles that of Courtney Love and Gwen Stephanie fused together, hence equalling Brody Armstrong from the Distillers. The two songs are exactly what you would hope to find in an all-girl rock band and more. Full of provocative and enraging lyrics, they have got the sleaze of Guns'n'Roses, but with the sassy, glamourous looks to go with it. Full of funk and rock attitude, they are a band who can rock to any level. Their use of Nirvana-esque chord combinations and unsettled passion, they have already been labelled as the "female Foo Fighters".

The band have already been on tour 3 times, having supported other brit rockers 'Holiday plan' on one of them. McQueen are looking forward to getting their sound heard amongst an even bigger audience. They are currently working on their first album, which is currently untitled. McQueen are a band who are determind not to let their gender and age pose any threat and are ready to take on any of the competition which surrounds them in this industry. They are basically a cool band to listen to with great material, nothing much else to say apart from they simply rock!

You can go to hmv online and order a copy of their EP now or visit www.mcqueenmusic.com; either way go check them out.
