The Q

The Q, a dynamic British band founded in 2006, have established themselves at the heart of the UK's mod, pop, and punk-infused live music scene. Comprised of Mike (guitar and vocals), Shane (drums), and Tim (bass and vocals), this energetic three-piece is recognised for crafting punchy, anthemic tracks that embody both attitude and melodic drive. Their recent album, "Three," released in October 2023, further cements their place as thoughtful songwriters and compelling performers.

The Q have honed their distinctive sound in collaboration with renowned producers such as Vic Coppersmith-Heaven (noted for work with The Jam and The Vapors) and Greg Haver (known for the Manic Street Preachers). Their discography reflects a committed progression, beginning with the "Issues" EP in 2008 through albums like "Sonically Sound" (2011) and "The Nation’s Recreation" (2016), culminating in their most recent release. Tracks such as "Another Monday," "Dance Around the Room," and "#wedidntmeanit" showcase The Q’s knack for merging infectious hooks with incisive lyrical content.

Notably, The Q headlined at Exchange in Bristol in December 2025, delivering their high-energy live set to audiences eager for authentic and spirited concerts. For those seeking a band with both heritage and contemporary edge, The Q continue to offer memorable gigs and new material.
