Queen Adreena (or QueenAdreena) are a band from London, England. Described at various times as “art, punk, metal, rock or alternative”, QA are difficult to categorize. But there is an undeniable primal, sick swagger and thump in everything they do, a homeopathic drinking of ills and light in dark places.
Formed by iconic vocalist KatieJane Garside and guitarist Crispin Gray, they had previously collaborated in the celebrated but short-lived band Daisy Chainsaw.
Garside and Gray did not cross paths again until 2000 when they formed Queen Adreena. An album, Taxidermy, soon followed in 2001 on Blanco y Negro/Warners. Pete Howard, the last drummer to play with The Clash, joined just before the band signed with Rough Trade for their second effort, 2003’s Drink Me, featuring the roaring lead single Pretty Like Drugs.
Queen Adreena toured extensively in the UK and Europe, playing with, amongst others, The Cramps, Killing Joke, Garbage, Incubus, Henry Rollins, The 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster and, perhaps most notably, Marilyn Manson (culminating in the Paris Bercy show in 2005).
The same year QA released their third album, The Butcher And The Butterfly, on One Little Indian records.
Queen Adreena has fought long and hard with the “music industry” and struggled to survive but, with Welsh speaking bassist Nomi Leonard completing the line up, they continue to excite and challenge audiences everywhere they go. There is truly no one quite like them.

If you hit to this page, consider joining The British Artists Rock League and voting Queen Adreena for induction on the new season. Surely they would be one of the more unique bands there! ;-)

I agree that bands mentioned as similar artists aren't the ideal examples of musical similarity with QA, but I can't think of better choices to be honest..cus it all depends on which aspect of their music we are taking into consideration. I don't know any other band that would so genuinely combine raw punky sounds with dark, soft angelicness..

all the "similiar artists" here @ last use to be quite dissimilar... anyway i don't need a 2nd version (though JOJ is not that different). wish they would play more shows... and that not only in the uk (therefore i recommend their official live dvd - the first of its 2 shows included is just stunning).

[I really loathe how dissimilar the 'similar artists' are, with the exception to the associated projects. :/ ] - yes, right? I was quite bemused the first time I've checked them out but its hard to find some 'similar' artist to them, isn't it? At least I didn't find a band like QA. Anyone else?

Musical discovery of the year to me. For a long while I sort of waited for finding a band like this; long enough that I had almost given up my hopes.
