“Lazy Queen match punk-like immediacy to songwriting that carries deeper resonance.” // CLASH

Through a series of lauded releases indie punk outfit Lazy Queen has emerged from the Norwegian music scene as a blast of fresh air, making the move from New York, where Colombian-Norwegian Henrik García Søberg founded the band. 

Fast forward to now, the Oslo-based Lazy Queen have embraced the new decade with an ever-evolving attitude of acceptance, perseverance and survival, creating an effervescent soundtrack along their journey. With an instinctive ear for melody and a uniquely intuitive sense of identity, Lazy Queen effortlessly weaves harmonic and discordant elements together that transform into a rich soundscape of bouncy yet jagged poignancy when the band comes together to complete the jigsaw puzzle of each track. Like CLASH Magazine puts it, “their penchant for bouncy, punk-infused electro-pop allows them to deliver poignancy with a sprinkle of sugar”. It’s immediate. It’s urgent. It impatiently demands your attention.

It’s no surprise then that Lazy Queen’s ingenuity has been praised by fans and music outlets all over the world.  Beloved singles such as “Bed/Head”, “Alcohol” and “Option To Nothing”  received spins on UK’s BBC Introducing Networks as well as BBC Radio 6, and BBC Radio 1’s Future Alternative show with Jack Saunders, prompting the following response "This band feels like such a rare discovery…it doesn't feel like a carbon copy, it doesn't feel like they're trying to be anyone else but themselves”. The band has received huge praise across the board with press from Kerrang! to CLASH, Rolling Stone France to Rock Sound, Visions DE to Louder.

“There really is some top tier guitar music getting made at the moment and Lazy Queen are right up there” // Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1

Lazy Queen’s mission is to create emotionally honest art, as a means of nursing community, recognition, understanding and acceptance. They transform their lived experiences into energetic punk in the belief that what we all might experience as isolated and deeply personal experiences in the vacuum of our own lives are often universal, and not as isolating as they might seem. That, and also to just get you fucking moving in the moshpit.

"At once anthemic and accessible ... Lazy Queen ... satiates our love of shoegaze and punk alike" // Nylon Magazine
