Frock Destroyers, one of the UK’s fiercest girl groups who formed on Season 1 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, who are returning to sleigh this festive season with their very own Christmas track. Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea and Divina de Campo are back to ‘frock’ their way into your Christmas playlists with ‘Naughty List’. The new single, released on 25th November via World of Wonder Records, is the ultimate gift for fans everywhere.
The group were originally put together during RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 1 in 2019, after winning the first ever girl-group challenge with their highly addictive version of‘Break Up Bye Bye’, which hit #3 on iTunes and entered the Big UK Top 40 at #10. The song made ‘herstory’ by becoming the first-ever Top 10 hit in the UK charts to be performed by a drag group.
Frock Destroyers went on to release their debut album ‘Frock4Life’ in December 2021, which included killer tracks‘Her Majesty’ and ‘Big Ben’. They also appeared live on ‘The Big New Year’s In’ on BBC One in 2020 and starred in their own four-part ‘Frockumentary’ series on streaming platform WOW Presents Plus, which followed the dolls’ journey as they recorded, released and performed their debut album during a global pandemic.
Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea and Divina De Campo of the Frock Destroyers said:
“We’ve been the BADDEST bitches this year and are so excited to team up with Leland and WOW Records to Frock up the ho-ho-holiday airwaves. Our new song Naughty List is the perfect festive and filthy banger to round out your Christmas playlist. We’re also extending the holiday season by giving you the gift of hitting the stage at RuPaul’s DragCon UK this January– so we’d better see all of our naughtiest fans in the front row!”
Now, the dolls are back to spread some festive cheer with their Christmas special ‘Naughy List’. The track is produced by World of Wonder Records, Frock Destroyers, Gabe Lopez and Brett McLaughlin, also known as Leland.
