Song of the Day - January 19, 2006

Queen Adreena rocks on The Butcher and the Butterfly and they mean business. This is one dark, heavy record and I love it! Queen Adreena is lead by Katie Jane Garside on vocals and Crispin Gray on guitar, both of whom were formerly with Daisy Chainsaw. Katie Jan Garside's vocals are an explosive mix of various influences including Siouxsie Sioux, Bjork, and Kurt Cobain. Their music can be disturbing; it is not meant for casual listening. Queen Adreena forges music of aggression, action, and anger. Check out "Medicine Jar" with its pounding bass and buzz saw guitars which combine to create a menacing overtone, that only increase in intensity as the song goes on. As soon as I heard this song, there was no doubt that it was song of the day material. Click here to listen.
