Artist:1QA

1QA Biography 1QA are a band originally from Wellington that have ditch-jumped to play and live (and live to play) in Melbourne. The band relocated at the start of 2004 and since then has been playing furiously around Melbourne to extend the following they left behind back home. The 1QA sound is an intimidating yet accessible amalgamation of punk’s energy, metal’s raw nerve feel and indie-rock’s diversionary tactics. Songs can move from a near-croon to an outright scream; the supporting riff circling the air, constantly swelling, growing larger and larger. The band have been likened to such international acts as the Blood Brothers and the Mars Volta but their sound is most definitely their own. In their travels they have played alongside bands such as 67 Special, Betchadupa, Bird Blobs, Batrider, Bad Girls of The Bible, Neon, Goldenhorse, Degrees.K and Fat Freddys Drop. 1QA’s live show is all engrossing, sucking crowds in and spitting them out the other end.
