Queen Kwong is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter Carré Callaway, who was discovered at age 17 by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. What began as a curious 4-track analog cassette recorded in Carré’s living room soon grew to become Queen Kwong, a rock trio based in Los Angeles, known for charismatic live shows and raw, emotive tunes. In January 2010, Queen Kwong released their debut EP (Love Is A Bruise), featuring the single “Pet” which was quickly picked up by BBC Radio 6 and used to Levi’s 2010 Fall/Winter European sales campaign. Queen Kwong has not only opened shows for two separate Nine Inch Nails tours, but Carré has also worked with artists ranging from Joseph Arthur to Dave Navarro as well as Smashing Pumpkin’s producer, Kerry Brown. With growing notoriety, Queen Kwong entered the studio in late 2011 to begin recording their debut album with producer Joe Cardamone (The Icarus Line) due out in 2012.
