If It's Too Loud...

For some reason, I don't equate Switzerland with punk rock, but Bitch Queens may change that. Their new single, "Recycled Youth," is two minutes and thirteen seconds of no nonsense rock and roll. It's fast and heavy with an impossible to resist groove. Between the chant along chorus and the "Woah-oh-oh!" gang vocals, this is a killer punk song. Bitch Queens live in that space that's pure punk that has a lot more in common with rock bands than the typical punk tropes, and you simply can't go wrong with that. By the time the guitar solo kicks in, you're going to find yourself wanting to check out more of the Swiss punk scene. You can watch the video for "Recycled Youth" below. Party Hard(ly) is due out October 28 on Spaghetty Town Records in the US and Lux Noise Records in Europe. The EP can be pre-ordered here . For more on Bitch Queens, check out the band's website .

Spaghetty Town Records have become a go to label for straight up unpretentious rock and roll. Our newest discovery from the label is Switzerland's Bitch Queen. Their new single, "Burn It Down," is just straight punk and metal inspired rock and roll. It's a little too screamy to be pure rock, but it's not quite hard enough to truly be metal. It's just a loud and fast rock song that's one of the rare tracks that metalheads and punks can enjoy equally. If I'm going to compare it to other bands, I'm going to go with Refused meets Supersuckers. You can watch the video for "Burn It Down" below. Custom Dystopia is due out November 5 on Spaghetty Town Records. For more on Bitch Queen, check out the band's website .
