Queen’s Pleasure is a hybrid post-punk and garage rock outfit from Amsterdam. Driven by a brutal and poetic desire for love, they sound like a mix of the Dandy Warhols and Blur, with the power of The Ramones and the melancholy of The Smiths.
Their first single, “Big Boys Loan,” brings you into their world: punk attitude infused with a keen awareness of youthful sensibility. According to frontman Jurre Otto, the song is about “growing up, sex, and holding on to a memory that is long gone.” A veritable “wall of sound” delivered with an energy you would expect from a group in their late teens, “Big Boys Loan” is a contagious banger that will leave you eager to hear Queen’s Pleasure’s next release.
