Tokky Horror (Ex-Queen Zee) Sign To Alcopop! Records
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Liverpool/London collective TOKKY HORROR are pleased to announce they have signed to Alcopop! Records. Their debut single 'Girlracer' is out now and available to stream and purchase on all good DSPs.

Completed by joint-vocalists Mollie Rush and Ava Akira, the trio form the hotly-anticipated new project from ex-Queen Zee vocalist Zee Davine, marking a stark change in musical direction from Davine's former outfit.

Commenting on the new project, Davine says: "For me, 'Girlracer' is a joyous return to the fun of creating and making music after falling out of love with it. The experience of creating Tokky Horror has helped me address what my priorities are with my creativity, and how I wish and need to express myself. Sonically we had no idea what we would sound like, except we wanted it to be intense, visceral and cathartic."

Inspired by artists like Dennis Lyxzen (Refused, International Noise Conspiracy)—who has spoken and written in depth about wanting to create punk music for the present generation, instead of simply mimicking bands from the '60s and '70s—and Liam Howlett of The Prodigy— who would refuse to pinpoint their specific sound—culturally-speaking, the new material carries on where Queen Zee left off, by crashing headlong into traditionally less diverse spaces and firmly planting the flag for the LGBTQ+ community.

"I wanted to find my own sound, and my own way of expressing myself, that takes from all of our influences across dance culture, psychedelia and punk," explains Davine of the process. "Lyrically the song addresses hyper-masculine spaces (which is very often dance culture itself) and inserts Tokky Horror with confidence. Girlracer's unashamed appreciation of fast cars and loud music is a tongue-in-cheek to every boy who thinks they're better than us."

Written and recorded by TOKKY HORROR, 'Girlracer' was produced and mixed by Zee Davine, and mastered by Stephen Cole at WHAT STUDIO, Liverpool.

Hailed as LGBTQ+ icons in the making, and touted as "the next Iggy Pop" by Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry on the 2019 GQ Awards red carpet, with multiple BBC Maida Vale sessions and a raft of press and radio support under their belts Queen Zee announced their unexpected shock split following the release of their debut album in October 2019.

Over the space of their short career they appeared at Glastonbury Festival, Reading & Leeds, Download, Latitude, Rebellion, Kendal Calling, Beautiful Days and more, and toured alongside Marmozets, Dream Wife, Skunk Anansie, and The Zutons.

TOKKY HOROR will be revealing further details and announcing more new music over the coming months.
Girlracer is out now on Alcopop! Records
