16 Track CD Album from Queenadreena featuring the singles FM Doll and Medicine Jar

Katie Jane was just voted no. 23 in Kerrang magazine’s “Sexiest Stars on the Planet” feature.

‘The Butcher and the Butterfly’ is the band’s first full-length album for One Little Indian. Produced by Paul Corkett (The Cure, Placebo, Cooper Temple Clause ) at Bath Moles Studio ( Elbow ), the album is ( as its title suggests ) a balance of visceral anger and beautiful fragility. Mixing harsh guitars and pounding drumming with Katie Jane’s vocals, it moves from moshpit anthems to delicate acoustic songs with enviable dexterity. From the opening moments of ‘FM Doll’’s vicious cabaret pounding, to the beautiful softness of ‘Birdnest Hair’ and the sing a long chorus of ‘Princess Carwash’, this is a wonderfully crafted album where extra care has clearly been taken to utilise variety and dynamics to their full effect, pushing the band’s material to the next level.

Press Quotes

“A great magic rock band,” - NME

"Mix dirt with beauty and come up with something entirely unique" - Kerrang

"Crazy good album shock - You either love Katie-Jane Garside or you run a mile. Her hair-brained hat-stand routine in Daisy Chainsaw may have helped inspire British rock during the 90s but some found it equally distracting and grating, us included. Since her return to the public arena with Queen Adreena those initially unswayed have kept their distance, but 'The Butcher and the Butterfly' might just change all that. Yes, there's still the childlike naïveté to her vocal approach but on 'Ascending Stars', 'Wolverines' and the biting 'FM Doll' she turns in hugely effective performances. So do her band mates, striking up a raw blues approach on 'Racing Towards The Sun' and 'Black Spring Rising' previously unheard of for the band. In fact the strident melodic punk metal on offer throughout makes this an astonishingly pleasing listen." - Metal Hammer 8/10

"immaculately dark, brooding stuff- and not meant for anyone who likes their vocals, or music, clean.'' - KERRANG 3/5

"Risen from the ashes of 90's Punksters Daisy Chainsaw, Queen Adreena have electrified the underground scene with their pummeling riffs and looney-bin theatrics since the dawn of the new century. Bolstered by Pete Howard's endlessly inventive drumming, Melanie Garside's Glam/Blues bass explosions and Crispin Gray's scorching post-Zep guitar, singer Katie Jane Garside unleashes such a blistering torrent of whispers, howls, growls and screams that nearly everyone else in Rockdom seems sedate in comparison. Butcher and the Butterfly further expands the band's musical palette, tossing in some disturbingly ethereal fever-dreams (like the terrifyingly beautiful 'Cold Light of Day') into their usual sonic maelstrom. The off-their-meds rockers like "Suck", "Ascending Stars" and "Black Spring Rising" will keep even the most hard-bitten headbanger happy. Simultaneously trad and avant-garde, Butcher and the Butterfly is a must-have for any fan of intelligent and challenging Rock and Roll." - Classic Rock 8/10
