Queen Zee release their latest track challenging society, Idle Crown.
Up-and-coming LGBT pink punk band Queen Zee and the Sasstones released their newest single Idle crown on November 24 – two months after their debut album Eat my Sass.
With their 2018 tour alongside the Mamozets, the Liverpool gang are breaking down gender barriers, sharing their dysphoria with the world.
The Liverpool band are smashing down the heteronormative walls built by society, in their daring track which challenges views on gender and conformity. As the first openly Transgender Bisexual frontwoman for a predominantly male band, Queen Zee acts as the driving force for the progressive group as they tackle misogyny, transphobia, gender politics, and society’s treatment of LGBT+ people.
The track Idle Crown depicts commentary on society’s push for heteronormativity, to the point of which the damage to health it may cause is disregarded.
Zee herself explains, that: “Within ‘Idle Crown’, I used two LGBTQ+ characters trapped in a heteronormative relationship to express the pain of being unable to live as your true self”. In the current social climate, a track like this is more than needed
Branded as a ‘force to be reckoned with’ by DIY magazine, they have already taken the Punk scene to new depths, seeing commercial success with Radio One airplay. Since their formation in 2016, the unique group have performed at sold out tours with the likes of Cabbage, headlined Threshold festival and struck the stages of Glastonbury.
Their promising tour alongside the Marmozets begins February next year:
Friday 2 – Cardiff – The Tramshed
Saturday 3 – Southampton – Engine Rooms
Sunday 4 – Brighton – Concorde 2
Tuesday 6 – Cambridge – Cambridge Junction
Wednesday 7 – London – Student Central
Thursday 8 – Nottingham – Rescue Rooms
Friday 9 – Newcastle – Riverside
