Queen Cult

Based in Macclesfield, Queen Cult was formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Maisie Johnson, with Brodie Carson on drums and Piers Jarvis on bass.

Unapologetically queer, Queen Cult released their fierce and politically charged debut EP 'Woman That I Know' in January 2022 and a second EP, ‘For Now Not Forever’, followed in February 2023. A couple of stand-alone singles followed in 2023, including their first ever self-produced single, ‘Sneaky Freaque’.

Queen Cult’s music has landed the band support across Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday UK, All New Rock, Rainbow, Pulp, Shockwave, Fresh Finds and Apple playlists including The New Rock, Alternative Rock and New In Rock. They have also picked up specialist plays on radio stations including BBC Radio 1, Kerrang and 6 Music.

Queen Cult did their first ever UK headline shows in 2023 and performed at festivals including Bingley, Bitchfest and the inaugural WIMIN Festival, a new event in Liverpool with a focus on female-centred artists.

They were also shortlisted as one of four finalists in the Manchester City Women’s Football Battle of the Bands competition which saw Queen Cult performing at the WSL game between Man City Women and Arsenal Women in the Joie Stadium on October 9th.

Queen Cult started 2024 with a sold-out show at Sapphic Sounds in London in February. In March they were main support for Fort Hope, playing in eight cities across the UK.

New singles 'Be Better' and 'Stop Calling' were released in February and April 2024.
