“ISSUES” is the long awaited debut release from Gloucestershire based band “The Q”
This double “A” sided limited edition 10” EP was produced by the legendary Vic Coppersmith-Heaven. Paul Weller figures highly in the bands list of influences and it was Vic’s production of The Jam that attracted the band to him. After hearing a demo of the “The Q” in 2007 Vic instantly agreed to produce them and an alliance of ‘old school’ and ‘new school’ was formed.
The “A” side is “Through Your Eyes” – With iconic ’79 revival undertones, “The Q” demonstrate a social awareness in a thumping call for empathy in the modern world. The second track on this side is “She” – set to a Ska like beat the story of a ‘girl about town’, which was inspired by a friend of the band, shows more of the bands influences.
.
The “AA” side (definitely not a “B” side) kicks off with “Big Issue” – (a track that the magazine with the same name has recently picked up on for a free-be). The acoustics are out here in a track that builds throughout to a climactic finale. The passion behind the song really shines through and once heard, you’ll never look at people you see in the street the same way again.
Last, (but could just as easily have been first), is “Interlude” - featuring some brilliant guitar work and is again lyrically excellent, displaying a talent for capturing those little working class social vignettes and polarising them in three minutes, it's something very few bands can do successfully.
After completing the EP the band were flown to Germany where they were picked up by “Time For Action Records” for this limited edition release. The tracks have received regular airplay on BBC Radio, Mod Radio UK, WBQC & International Radio New York, Radio Rheinwelle Germany and many others, and has been well reviewed in Ireland, The UK, Europe and the States.
Including a double-sided full color inlay sheet, the first 100 copies are hand numbered and on crystal clear vinyl.
Limited edition - vinyl only !
