Queen Bee is a three-piece rock band drawing attention with songs that showcase overwhelming expressiveness and powerful vocals.

Their ninth digital-only single, “01,” was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Undead Unluck.

The lyrics evoke the idea of starting anew from nothing, carrying a forward-looking message with a slightly decadent tone.

Despite its whirlwind of complex melodic developments, it’s a rock tune you’ll want to sing at year-end and New Year parties to get everyone fired up.
