Upset Boy and the Queens’ “Amphetamine Queen” single reviewed by Jersey Beat
Paul Silver gave Upset Boy and the Queens’ latest single, “Amphetamine Queen” a spin. This is what he had to say about it:
“Upset Boy & the Queens reportedly started as a joke, when, at Nashville’s independent music venue Exit/In’s last show, singer/guitarist Chris Watts and bassist Lulu Jones stumbled into each other and fell to the ground. Rather than get angry, the pair decided to form a rock band because, why not? Now, with last year’s double A-side release, the band is no joke. They’re back with a new single and plans to go into the studio later this year to record a full-length LP. This latest single, ‘Amphetamine Queen’ is indie rock mixed with classic rock. Where the earlier singles leaned more heavily into the indie-side of their sound, ‘Amphetamine Queen’ leans more into the blues infused classic rock sound, with hints of The Rolling Stones mixed with grunge. I think I liked last year’s songs better, but I will be looking forward to giving the new LP a listen when it comes out.”
