There are always certain elements that will draw me towards a band and make me want to investigate them further. If the music is ‘in your face’, oozes with attitude and crowned with costumes or theatrics, then nine times out of ten that band will have my undivided attention. Add the word ‘Turbojugend’ to that list and I’ll drop everything, ten for ten, I’m all ears.

I’ve been a fairly ‘obsessive’ fan of Bitch Queens for a number of years now and feel it’s only right that I share this dirty little secret with you all. Hailing from Basel in Switzerland, Bitch Queens have been greatly underestimated in my opinion. Only god knows why though as they’ve got a bloody impressive back catalogue to explore including several split releases with UK punks The Hip Priests, the most recent of which being a tribute EP to the late Lemmy Kilmister.

Bitch Queens play harder, faster and sexier than just about anyone else. One listen to their ‘Kill Your Friends’ album and before you know it, you too will be denim clad, glittery eyed and sneering ferociously at anyone that crosses your path.
