Queen Cult are actively proving that rock has a place within 2023. Their take on rock music is unique and infectious, gathering support from fans and music tastemakers alike. Their latest offering ‘Lollipop’ proves why and sets the pace for their brand new EP For Now, Not Forever, out February 10.

The single’s foundations feature a vibrant melting pot of heavy-hitting drums and overdrive soaked guitars. However, the track manages to blend electronic elements within its texture, with understated synth lines creeping into the mix. Lead vocals come tinged with pop sensibilities whilst also having an aggressive edge that cuts through the mix, the tone working hand in glove with hard-hitting lyrics.

Speaking about the single, vocalist and guitarist Maisie reveals: “’Lollipop’ was a very spontaneous song to write. I had the main riff for ages. The lyrics describe how your actions can really stall and affect someone else without realising. So this song serves to vocalise the honest and visceral frustration of not knowing how to approach a changing situation.”
