The Q have been on the UK music scene since the release of their debut EP, ISSUES, in 2008 on Time
For Action Records which was produced by Vic Coppersmith-Heaven, (renowned producer of The
Jam, The Vapours etc). This was followed up with their first album Sonically Sound in 2011 which sold
out of it’s initial run in weeks.
Since then they’ve been regular guest artists on tours of bands including “From The Jam”, “The Beat”,
“Secret Affair”, “The Circles”, “Bad Manners”, “Big Country” and more as well as performing regularly
across the UK, Germany and the occasional trip across the water to the USA
Working with Welsh producer Greg Haver, (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, Bullet For My
Valentine), The Q produced a further EP and album, (Chemical Overload and The Nations
Recreation), before the COVID “Blip”. The Q received rave reviews from the music press both in the
UK and Europe including: –
Vive Le Rock Magazine, UK – “Slick, sharp and encapsulates the Modern World, The Q are quite
capable of keeping things fresh in 21st century Britain with hugely catchy tunes”
Muzikknyheter Magazine, Norway – “A thoroughly superb album full of highlights”
Plastic Bomb Magazine, Germany – “Cool album with really sophisticated songs. It’s been a long
time since I’ve had such exciting music on the turntable.”
In 2023 The Q returned to the studio to record their third album, “THREE”, which was released
independently at the end of the year across all digital outlets. In writing THREE the band drew from
their musical journey and the emotions surrounding this to produce songs that tell a personal story
as well as including tracks inspired by social issues that they feel passionate about – something that’s
influenced their writing since the band started.
