Artist description
Q has a unique sound, one that has been quoted as “Completely new and refreshing”.
With styles & influences ranging from “industrial”, “heavy metal” and “techno”.
Q uses programmed sequences that adds to their music and creates a fuller,
almost orchestral sound.
Their style is heavy but melodic and produces songs with an
almost pop sensibility.
During the writing process much thought it directed towards
the live presentation. Nothing is written without the
ability of being able to recreate it live.
Amongst their growing list of accomplishments the band
was voted the #1 progressive/experimental band in
2002 Valley ADVOCATE “GRAND BAND SLAM”.
The voting consisted of mailed-in & online ballots
from the W.Mass readers/ club goers.
The main focus of the band is the writing and the
performance of the music.
Each member of Q has a wide variety of influences
that would be too long to list.
The band pours their heart and soul into every note.
Therefore the end result of all four members creates
the band Q.
This is real. This is Q

“Just another Thursday night in the underbelly?
Uhhhh I don’t think so!!!”
Review of Thurs, February 15, 2003 @ THE LUCKY DOG MUSIC HALL. 89 Green ST. Worcester, MA 01604
By: WEDNESDAY
We were about to be treated to waves of richly textured full bodied
sound delivered by 4 artists from western mass simply called Q.
Not only was the music intense, but their stage presence
nearly catapulted us into sensory overload.
Out of the initial darkness on stage emerged
well placed visual effects that kept all eyes
glued to Q’s set.
Blue tube lights wound through the drum kit
as complex and powerful rhythms set the
foundation.
A neon glow edged the lead guitar as
slick riffs flowed effortlessly from these
talented hands.
We were pummeled by a powerful and
intelligent bass line that was both scary
and teasing as it drew us in closer.
And in the center of the storm was an
incredibly strong vocal performance delivered
by an almost dreamlike siren who lurked… prowled…
crept…and just plain took control from her first
note.
There just aren’t enough adjectives to
describe Q.
This is a band you just got to experience.
So check them out…You’ll thank me.
