Oslo-based LGBTQ+ alt-rock outfit **Lazy Queen** return with new single *Throwaway* – a feral pop-punk anthem with an infectious hook and an abrasive punk demeanour – on **Friday, May 15**.

Lyrically, the track is unforgiving in its exploration of lead vocalist **Henrik Garcia Søberg**’s deeply personal, harrowing experiences of self-destruction, fear, anger and self-loathing through the vehicle of raw, punk-spirited guitar music.

Born in Columbia, Henrik has struggled with displacement from a young age. As an adopted child, they moved to Oslo where they grew up discovering a passion for music, while also struggling with their own identity. In 2012 they moved to New York, forming various bands and artist projects as a release from their ongoing issues of depression and addiction, culminating in an eventual suicide attempt.

Counting themselves as one of the lucky ones, Henrik has now found a new direction and drive. While addiction and mental health issues are never fully purged, the Lazy Queen project represents a new chapter musically and personally for the lead singer. As a band, Lazy Queen are better placed than most to appreciate their privilege. As a Non-Binary vocalist, Henrik is a huge advocate of supporting the LGBTQ+ creative community, regularly performing at Pride events in Oslo.

Henrik says: *‘Throwaway is about hitting rock bottom, waking up in a hospital bed, surrounded by love and care, only to bite every hand that’s ever tried to feed you.*

*‘It’s about seeking allowance, revelling in penance and repeating familiar and comfortable patterns of self-destruction. It’s about knowing that it’ll inevitably bury the person I want to be underneath yet another protective layer of being a selfish asshole.’*
