"Herculean" is the debut single by the Good, the Bad & the Queen, an alternative rock band fronted by Damon Albarn.
Though Albarn later claimed that the band was unnamed, and that "The Good, The Bad & The Queen" was merely the name of band's first album, this single clearly credits the artist as "The Good, The Bad & The Queen", and was released several months in advance of the album.
"Herculean" was first released as the band's debut single on 30 October 2006, following the band's performance at The Roundhouse in Camden on 26 October as part of the BBC's Electric Proms (see 2006 in British music).
The artwork for the single was created by the band's bassist Paul Simonon.
"Herculean" entered the UK Singles Chart at #22 in its first week of physical release (2006-11-05).
