Barbies get every Ken on their knees!

From HELLsinki, the rock capital of Finland, comes this all-girl no-bullshit rock’n’roll band ready to conquer every corner of the planet with their ass kicking riffs and in-your-face attitude. Barbe-Q-Barbies have been touring the dirtiest rock clubs since 2002 carefully developing their pack, releasing singles and writing better and better songs. Now they are ready to let loose their debut album All Over You. The album features handful of catchy rock songs crafted by girls themselves, and to add some surprise they have recorded the old Sweet classic Wig-Wam Bam with their own signature style. Niki’s seducing vocals and Kaisa’s fiery guitar work lead the band forward as they keep on doing what they love - rock’n’roll!

Their latest album “BORROWED TIME” is full of licks and hits harking back to the glory years of AC/DC, QOTSA, KISS, and MOTÖRHEAD, but with an added fuel injection of Helsinki attitude and femme fatale vocals that'll blow your mind. With this the BARBIES have simultaneously created their own style and revitalized the genre.

Thuggin in the studio they know I'm going hard
I'm like a martian my diamonds shining like stars
A crash dummy I'm driving the fastest cars
Gotta keep a cutta in the case, A Rockstar

Baby Rider
Hood Rockstar!
I get the sprite and turn it pink, now they know how I'm rocking
I got the city talking down, but they steady be watching
He say he gone do me something, but I know he can't knock me
My OG told me keep my head up, and don't trust nobody
People wanna stop me, cause I'm young an I be thuggin hard
I be clutching everywhere I'm on yo boulevard
I got a white bitch, I call her Addie!
She take me to mars
I came from nothing, now you see me shinin w the stars
Wasn't too long, I swear to God I had them empty pockets
I'm up in Houston poppin screws, I'm with that fuckin rocket
Ain't nobody really down, til you bring money round
Must be the reason I can't get no support from my town
Thuggin in the studio they know I'm going hard
I'm like a martian my diamonds shining like stars
