about
DOWNGIRL’s debut single, Beauty Queen, establishes the band as a raw and blaring force. Recorded at the beginning of 2022 at Bleus Studios and mastered by Jack the Bear, the song is an ode to horror movie heroes, Carrie and Suspiria’s Suzy, who defied the gendered roles of ‘final girls’ and ‘scream queens’. Beauty Queen draws upon these pop culture references in celebration of unconventional femininity and challenges the notion that women can be written as one dimensional characters. Musically inspired by 90s grunge gods and riot grrlz, the track is attacking, gritty, yet reassuring, just like Beauty Queen herself.
