Discrete moments in time and space inspire the gaze of JP, lead singer of the NYC indie rock band, herMajesty. “Crystals,” the band’s new single slated for release on July 30th, 2014, is a tender glance into the inner world of its central character. Its generous, passionate and magical spirit is conveyed through the imagery of the lyrics, seductive keyboard lines, lush orchestral arrangements and exotic male and female vocals. Complementing the hypnotic aesthetic of the song is the psychedelic guitar work of Jody Porter from Fountains of Wayne.
In the past, herMajesty appeared on FOX National TV, performed in front of a packed houses at some of New York City’s favorite stages (Mercury Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene Grocery, etc.), shared the stage with national touring acts The B-52s, Tom Tom Club, Boxer Rebellion, Say Hi to Your Mom, and received airplay on KEXP, KTUH, WFUV, etc.
herMajesty consists of JP (vocals, rhythm guitars, programming), David Leatherwood (guitars, backup vocals), Joan Chew (bass, backup vocals), and Konrad Meissner (drums, percussion). Keyboards on “Crystals” were handled by Dayle Raymond Jellyman.

"The alt-rock, Brooklyn-based band herMajesty has a sound as captivating as the title of their latest EP, "My Body Your Mind," which dropped just this past January.Poetic, weighted lyrics paint alluring, sometimes dark stories against multi-layered guitars, a flirty bass, and invitingly dance-able drums."
Thank you to Jess Goulart of Breakthru for her lovely writeup of herMajesty on BreakThru Radio.

"There's an early Joy Division quality to "Fashion Trance" which provides it with the sort of riveting allure that distinguishes it from much of herMajesty's contemporaries. Dig in." Don;t mind if we do.

Thank you to write.click.cook.listen. for their review of "Days Turn to Nights": "While the band has done some semi-psychedelic tracks in the past, they were nothing compared to the vibey waviness that “Days Turn to Nights” sends through your speakers." Indeed.
Read their great review of our packed single release show at Rockwood Music Hall here: How bout this? "I liken JP’s vocal style to David Bowie in the 80′s; smart, strong, chilling and sometimes brazen."
Dear Friends, due to inclement conditions, we are uncertain whether our show at TT the Bears on Wednesday, January 28th will go as planned. We are on a waiting pattern. As soon as we know, we will let you know. XO, herMajesty
