Formed by Thomas Kenis (vocals, tambourine), Andreas Stieglitz (guitars, synths), Lander Savelkoul (bass), and Toon Driezen (drums), Speed Queen started as “greasy teenagers discovering our dad’s record collection,” says Savelkoul, evolving into a force that’s played festivals like Wacken Open Air and Alcatraz, and toured with Night Demon. “Rock‘n’roll has to be fun and invigorating,” Savelkoul adds, promising “a fast, energetic show with no pauses.” …With a Bang!, recorded and mixed by Koen Keijers, mastered by Thibault Chaumont, and featuring guest solos by Jonny Nesta (Thunderor, Skull Fist), offers more variation and “oempf” than their EPs King Of The Road (2017, Babylon Doom Cult Records) and Still On The Road (2020, High Roller Records).
