VIQUEEN (VY-kween, like viking) is a thrash/hardcore band founded by wife/wife duo Alexa Rae (Guitar, Vocals) and Courtney Cavanagh (Bass). Lead guitarist Tom Couture and drummer Chris Leighton complete this high energy, hard hitting band based out of Portland, ME. With a “no slow songs”, in-your-face approach to song writing, VIQUEEN’s tracks are driving, hard, and rowdy while highlighting thoughtful melodies and smart lyrics.

"The band's over-the-top stage performance had them spitting beer on each other, rolling around in the pit, and whipping fans with sweaty hair. It left everyone stunned. What started out looking like a chill rock show took a bizarre and unexpected turn for the better, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since." -CB 2023
