Vienna Vienna drops his unapologetically Queer anthem, “God Save the Queens.” With a gritty, guitar-driven alternative sound, the track is pure Glimmer Rock—raw, untamed, and full of attitude.
“God Save the Queens” is a defiant celebration of queerness, cutting through the noise of societal expectations and the constraints placed on the LGBTQIA+ community. Vienna Vienna’s bold vocals lead the charge, challenging everything from outdated norms to the pressures of religious conformity. The track oozes with rebellious energy, offering a powerful call to arms for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in. The chorus, “God Save the Queens, And all the in-betweens,” roars as a defiant statement of inclusivity, reminding everyone that love and identity, in all forms, deserve to be celebrated.
The video for “God Save the Queens” is a bold statement, confronting the current climate with unapologetic defiance and a call for liberation. Set against the backdrop of a neon-lit crucifix, Vienna Vienna performs on stage as a powerful symbol of resistance, surrounded by a crowd of queers, punks, and outcasts – and includes a cameo from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 contestant Salina Es Titties! The chaos that unfolds—a mix of queerness, rebellion, and raw joy—directly challenges the systems that oppress and marginalize. A riot of self-expression, the video is a fierce declaration of freedom in the face of a world trying to stifle it. In a time when queerness and individuality are under constant attack, the video is a rallying cry to stand together and embrace the power of who we are.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Vienna Vienna shared, “JOY!! DO YOU HEAR ME? JOY!.”
As part of the release, Vienna Vienna has launched a limited-edition “God Save the F★GS” t-shirt, as seen in the song’s artwork and video. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Los Angeles LGBT Center, supporting their crucial work advocating for and uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community. Shirts can be purchased here.
“God Save the Queens” follows Vienna Vienna’s debut EP Wonderland, released on National Coming Out Day (October 11) via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz’s DCD2 label. The EP fuses shimmering guitars, infectious melodies, and raw lyrics to explore queerness, self-acceptance, and faith. It features the lead single, “Vienna (Everything’s Fine),” praised for its electric alt-rock sound and introspective lyrics. The track gained major traction with its catchy hooks and biting humor, landing spots on Spotify’s New Music Friday, New Alt, All New Rock, and playlists like New Noise and The Locker. It was also featured on EA Sports’ NHL 25 soundtrack.

Vienna Vienna is always waiting for his next chance to take the stage, to electrify the audience with glimmer rock: performance is an essential part of the equation. The multi-instrumentalist sees performing as “a chance at vulnerability without all the pressure.” His debut EP Wonderland reflects his journey with queerness and self-acceptance, creating a space of shared catharsis at his shows. Growing up anxious and conflicted about his identity, Vienna Vienna found solace in music, which evolved from a coping tool into a means of self-expression and self-love. Now signed to PULSE Records and co-released by Pete Wentz’s label DCD2, Wonderland blends ‘00s pop-punk, queer pop, and soft-rock ballads, celebrating strangeness and authenticity.
