2008 has seen McQueen support Velvet Revolver on their UK tour, followed by flying to Australia to support HIM on their tour down under. Currently writing in the US, they have made time for a couple of special guest appearances on Camp Freddy Radio on Indie 103.1 and also joining them onstage for "It's So Easy"
Last year saw the release of McQueen's extremely well received debut album "Break the Silence". Combining equal amounts of aggression, musicianship and melody McQueen have forged their own unique sound and always looked to innovate rather than emulate.
Fronted by the enigmatic and slightly unhinged Leah Duors they have a front-woman who captivates and amuses at the same time. Throw in a killer gravel pit voice; add Hayley Cramer's incendiary drumming style and the crunch of Cat De Cassanove's guitar and you have the McQueen sound.
The album was produced by up and coming producer Richie Kayvan in between a healthy touring schedule that's spanned the last three years. Tracks were then ferried to the U.S. Studio of one 'Evil' Joe Barresi (producer of QOTSA, Tool) to mix and add his magical sheen.
Since forming in November 2003 Brighton based band have been busy taking their frantic live set around the World - from the coolest clubs on LA's Sunset Strip to soccer stadiums in Vietnam as well as opening for legendary rockers Aerosmith in London's Hyde Park last summer. McQueen have slogged it out with the likes of Juliette and the Licks, Wednesday 13, Viking Skull, and WASP on tour as well as playing shows with The Foo Fighters through to acts as diverse as the Towers of London, The Mad Capsule Markets and the Kaiser Chiefs. They even appeared on the tour to promote the Dirty Sanchez movie.
'Break The Silence' has been warmly received around the globe, garnering accolades from the press, radio and TV. Tracks have been used in video games such as World Rally Championship and numerous extreme sports DVDs and the album has clocked up sales to date of over 25,000 off the back of their heavy and constant touring schedule. The next few months will see the band writing and recording a new album in between the traditionally hectic live schedule. There will also be some very exciting and off the wall musical collaborations - watch this space...
HERE'S WHAT THE UK ROCK PRESS
HAS HAD TO SAY ABOUT MCQUEEN:
"This band look great, sound awesome, and could quite possibly be the most important female band this country has produced over the last 30 years!!!..." METAL HAMMER
"Leah Duors' confrontational strut comes across like she's ready to take on
the whole world. Their aim is to recreate pure Sunset Strip sleaze, an
eyeliner smeared Duors' whisky-sodden voice snarling over punchy rock
n'roll." KERRANG!
"McQueen play filthy punk rock, chock full of the type of catchy riffs and
anthemic choruses that the music scene has been lacking so severely
recently." BIG CHEESE
"These sisters have wasted no time in doing it for themselves, showing up
their counterparts whether male or female in the process. They're hell bent
on putting the grittiness back into female-led rock n'roll." ROCK SOUND
