Reviews Customer Reviews for Drink Me "she undoes herself, for a slice of your pie"...indeed Rating:
Former Daisy Chainsaw front (Katie Jane Garside) puts the harsh realities of the post-grunge era in proper perspective here. The "Pretty Like Drugs" video is a cold and relentless gem, a twisted psychotic statement of social disengagment that should've been heard stateside. Only local cable and MTV never had the courage to put it on the pop-hip-hop playlist (meaning most assuredly VH1 will never touch this masterpiece). Although, I do believe the video is still downloadable and floating around the internet somewhere. So much for cutting edge music television. "Pretty Like Drugs" is the first single from Queenadreena's "Drink Me" CD. A very intense, raw nerve ending release that includes the already classic "Kitty Collar Tight". "Siamese Almeida", "Razorblade Sky" & "For I Am The Way" are also not to be missed and will stay in heavy rotation on your CD changer.

Customer Reviews for Drink Me Cd Beautiful Rampage Rating: You can never compare this band to anything you have heard before. Queenadreena are "power-drill in your stomach" hard, then rose-petal soft.
Every song on this album is a work of finest art, from the four drum-beats setting off "Pretty Like Drugs" to the bitter-sweet calm at the end of "For I Am The Way," Katiejane carries the listener through her world with the most brutal honesty. Her view of drugs as escapism through to her weight-problems in "My Silent Undoing."
Katiejane pushes her voice past boundaries ever thought possible, very often wavering from near asthmatic little girl to roaring devil. This is the beauty of this band. Pained lyrics teamed with amazing vocals, not to mention killer riffs and sledge-hammer drum beats (provided by Pete Howard - formely of "The Clash"),Queenadreena are not to be overlooked.
Oh, and I realise there is bit of a delay in getting album three over to the States, but just you guys wait.
"The Butcher and the Butterfly," takes the band to another level...
