Rising rock outfit Queen Cult are set to blow your ears off with their latest single ‘It Matters To Me.’ Maisie Johnson, Brodie Carson and Piers Jarvis are the masterminds behind Queen Cult. Known for thrashing drums, riff-roaring guitars and infectious vocals, Queen Cult are an irresistible outfit that are sure to rise to the top.
Their latest single ‘It Matters To Me’ showcases this sound. Drums smash through the track, reverberating energy around the mix, whist guitars ebb and flow on top. The bass line glues together the contagious track. On top, vocals are emotionally-penned and forge a formidable partnership when paired with well-penned lyrics.
Discussing the release, Maisie explains:“This song was written for a friend. I wanted to understand it from her perspective and to give her a platform that would radiate with empowerment, after such distrust and pain she had endured. I wanted to show her she is not alone and how undeserving that moment was for her. I wanted her to feel heard, since she felt she had been silenced by that moment. For anyone else unheard or needing that feeling of empowerment in a moment where your femininity or dignity felt stolen. I hear you. You’re valid. It matters x”
Identifying as queer supporting the LBGTQ+ community, Queen Cult are part of a rapidly growing alternative live music scene in the UK which is organised by and supports femme-led LBGTQ+ artists who excel live and have something to say. Their music references are broad and include No Doubt, Paramore, Royal Blood and Nothing But Thieves. After a pandemic imposed hiatus, Queen Cult returned with their debut EP ‘Woman That I Know’ in January 2022. The critically acclaimed EP landed the band their first DSP support, including the Spotify playlists New Music Friday UK, All New Rock, Rainbow, Pulp, Shockwave and Fresh Finds; Deezer’s Girl’s Rock playlist; YouTube Music’s New Alternative and Tidal’s Indie Britain playlist. With a whole list of tour dates, we can’t wait to catch them on the road either.
