Princess? She's The Evil Queen
Hard hitting, unconventional, and unapologetic, are all words that you should use when describing Scene Queen.
The first time I heard Scene Queen, it was on her song ‘Bring It On’ from her ‘Bimbocore’ EP. My ears were very confused, I really didn’t know what to think, but I certainly know now. She has created something amazing and I am definitely along for the ride.
Bimbocore is not just the name of her first EP, it is also what she calls her music. Feminine lyrics, that hit hard, and make incels seeth. This is backed up by instrumentation that takes Metalcore, adds a little Pop here, and a little Hip-Hop there.
The songs are fun although covering topics that make a lot of people uncomfortable; misogyny, SA, and how those problems connect to the music industry. In her case Emo, Metal, and the overall attitude that many bands had and still have today. The best instance of this is in ‘18+’, she goes after a certain band (Pssst she’s talking about All Time Low), calling them out for the problematic things that they’ve been known to do.
Scene Queen doesn’t just hold the industry accountable while making some hard hitting music. She puts together fantastic promo for her upcoming songs, in the age of asking people to pre-save, she manages to succeed. The tours that she puts on, look like the ones I want to attend. Tours that are fun, bring up the energy, and have some great openers.
Currently Scene Queen has two upcoming shows abroad with Changeline and Bexley, and the ‘Summer School Tour’ with bands like Stand Atlantic, Magnolia Park, and The Home Team. She also has her first album coming at the end of this month called ‘Hot Singles In Your Area’. An album that I am excited for after hearing the single ‘Whips & Chains’.
Below I have linked her Instagram, and a link that shows thing like merch and tickets. If you haven’t heard of, or checked out her music yet, now is definitely the time.
