about

The Q are a bluesy punk outfit hailing from Derry City, Northern Ireland. Their soulful sound is influenced by countless bands and artists ranging from The Clash to Kasabian, the Stones to the Strokes, you get the idea... Paul Connolly leads the group, Tom Nicholl and Thomas Doherty perform guitar duties, and Barry Fahy compliments this on bass while Rory Nicholl plays drums. They take a passionate approach to their music, their lyrics are fresh and offer escape from the normal constrictions of everyday scenarios while still bearing a message. Over the two years The Q have been together they have developed a love of hats, maroon cars, Mikado Biscuits and Spike Milligan literature works. Over the summer the band went into an undisclosed countryside location to hibernate for a week with a diet of fishing, cooking, cycling and interpretive dance whilst wearing shaving foam in a gale force storm.
They have participated in the final of the ATL ROCKSCHOOL for two years running which was televised on BBC NI, where their music was remarked upon by Neil Hannon, Sandi Thom, Imran of Abeano Music, Michael of Therapy?, James Jam, NME, Rory of Radio 1 and have also been featured on their ’BEST OF ATL’ programme which was aired last month alongside such acts as Duke Special and Cold War Kids. They have played alongside prominent Northern Ireland band Oppenheimer, who are signed to Bar/None in America.
They write and play and sing these songs for every one of you who need music. So from the Q to you Good music and Retro Rock for all

Hey sweetie,

sorry about that I must have told you the wrong one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like things and stuff instead of cash.

But anyways, the correct site is

R E A D Y 1 2 . C O M

it's the one I am making $900 a week with putting in about 24 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm bored.

After you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the most, I got $55 for one that took me 30 minutes today. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you get in there.

Megan started taking them too and she's making $750 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.

Alright well me and Timmy are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
see ya!

Sound the Attack! - as seen on MTV2





Mar 14 2008 8:15 AM

Hey hey there! =)

Thanks for the acceptance! How are you?

We are 'SOUND the ATTACK!', a Progressive/Melodic/Rock-Metal band from South Wales, Merthyr Tydfil!

We were just hoping you would take a minute to check us out. We have been storming the local music circuits and have currently been filmed by MTV to appear sometime within the next month or so!

We would really appreciate it if you could check out the myspace, have a look around and maybe even comment! it helps with promotion and gives us an idea on what musical direction to go on =P

The reason we message you is because we aren’t going to just randomly add people just for the friends. We would rather have contact with our friends rather than just use them as a friend number. We have met some good people on our travels and its what its all about.

Every person who listens to our music and show support we are already in debt to. We make the tracks for you to enjoy so I hope you do! We believe in being true to our friends and fanbase so if you talk to us, we will always reply to you. At the end of the day, your helping us out and we appreciate every fan, every play and every friend we make on the way!

So once again, hope you enjoy. Stay in touch and don’t be a stranger!

jojo x SOUND the ATTACK!
