BAND HISTORY

With a 44-year history, IQ are widely regarded as one of the world’s most highly respected progressive rock bands.

The group was formed in 1981 by guitarist Mike Holmes and keyboard player Martin Orford. They recruited bassist Tim Esau that year, followed by vocalist Peter Nicholls and drummer Paul Cook in 1982, when they released their first cassette album ‘Seven Stories Into Eight’. Constant gigging throughout the UK led to them becoming a regular fixture at London’s legendary Marquee Club. Their first vinyl album ‘Tales From The Lush Attic’ was released in 1983, with the classic ‘The Wake’ in 1985 and the live set ‘Living Proof’ in 1986.

Tensions within the band, plus a punishing live schedule, resulted in the departure of Peter Nicholls in 1985, at the end of a UK tour with Wishbone Ash. With new singer Paul Menel, the band secured a lucrative record deal with Phonogram and released studio albums ‘Nomzamo’ in 1987 and ‘Are You Sitting Comfortably?’ in 1989. Both albums were promoted by extensive European tours, with Magnum and Mike And The Mechanics, respectively.

Dissatisfied with the lack of support from Phonogram, Paul Menel and Tim Esau left IQ in 1990. The remaining members recruited Les 'Ledge' Marshall on bass. That year, Peter Nicholls rejoined the band but tragedy struck when Les died suddenly and unexpectedly in the summer.

The 1991 release of the live and rarities album ‘J'ai Pollette d'Arnu’ was a significant event, being the first release on Giant Electric Pea, a new label founded by members and associates of IQ. This year also saw the arrival of John Jowitt as the band’s new bassist. With a stable line-up once more, IQ resumed live work in the UK, Europe and North America while also writing new songs which would form the basis of ‘Ever’ (1993). The sumptuous live box set ‘Forever Live’ was released in 1996, followed in 1997 by the band’s magnum opus, the monumental double concept album ‘Subterranea’. This was supported by a completely new multi-media live presentation, featuring the album performed in full, which earned the band unanimous acclaim.

In 1998, IQ re-recorded their first cassette album as ‘Seven Stories into ’98’ and released the rarities album ‘The Lost Attic’ in 1999 which was followed by concerts in North America and, for the first time, South America. New studio album ‘The Seventh House’, released in 2000, received much critical acclaim and saw the band tour extensively throughout Europe. 2002 saw the release of ‘Subterranea: The Concert’ DVD. The release of 2004’s ‘Dark Matter’ and the ‘IQ20’ 20th Anniversary Concert DVD recorded two-years earlier before a packed house in Holland, saw IQ back at the very top of the progressive rock tree. ‘Dark Matter’ was voted Album of the Year in countless music magazines around the world.

In 2005, Paul Cook left IQ after 23 years’ service and was replaced by Andy Edwards (ex-Robert Plant Band) who features on the 2-DVD live set ‘Stage’, filmed in the USA and Germany that year. Another line-up change followed in 2007 with the departure of Martin Orford after 26 years. The band enlisted Mark Westworth, formerly with Darwin’s Radio, and, after a short hiatus, work continued on IQ’s ninth studio album, ‘Frequency’, released in 2009. It was a musical tour de force which received universally positive reviews.

Andy Edwards’ decision to leave the band to focus on his teaching career soon after led to the return of original drummer Paul Cook, and in 2010 IQ marked the 25th anniversary of their seminal album ‘The Wake’ with the release of a deluxe four-disc collector’s box set featuring a host of previously unheard studio outtakes, demos and live tracks. The accompanying tour resulted in a live DVD of the album performed in its entirety, filmed in Holland. At the end of the year, Mark Westworth and John Jowitt both announced their departures from the group.

2011 was IQ’s 30th anniversary year. With the arrival of keyboard player Neil Durant and the welcome return of original bassist Tim Esau, the band were able to celebrate this landmark in their illustrious career with four original members in the line-up. IQ performed successful live shows throughout Britain and Europe.

In 2012, IQ celebrated the 15th anniversary of ‘Subterranea’ by re-staging the original show in full, updated with improved technology and production values, taking the show to mainland Europe and America at a special show at the Rite Of Spring Festival (ROSfest) in Pennsylvania. They also released a full performance CD recorded on the previous year’s 30th anniversary tour. While in the US they were approached by independent film maker Matthew Miller who wanted to make a full-length feature film based on the story of ‘Subterranea’. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, a deluxe edition of ‘Tales From The Lush Attic’ was released containing a remix of the album, a plethora of writing sessions, rehearsals, demos and unused ideas as well as a concert DVD featuring most of that landmark album.

IQ’s eleventh studio album, ‘The Road Of Bones’, was released in 2014 and once again received universal acclaim gathering numerous ‘album of the year’ awards from progressive rock media. This was followed in 2015 by the double ‘Live On The Road Of Bones’ album recorded at The Met in Bury, a venue that had seen the band perform annual sell-out shows since the ‘Subterranea’ show was debuted there over two nights some 17 years previously. The film based on ‘Subterranea’ was commercially released in 2016 after gaining a couple of prestigious awards at film festivals the year before. The soundtrack to the film by Mike Holmes was also released which included a specially recorded new IQ song written exclusively for the film.

2017 saw the release of the first IQ BluRay ‘Scrape Across The Sky’. Recorded at a concert on the ‘Road Of Bones’ tour, the disc featured over three hours of bonus features. To celebrate 20 years of the infamous IQ Christmas Parties, the band gave away copies of ‘Tales From A Dark Christmas’ seasonally-themed CD to everyone attending the 2017 Xmas concerts in London and Holland.

The band spent 2018 writing a recording material for a new album but also found time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ‘Ever’ at concerts throughout Europe and North America. A deluxe three-disc version of ‘Ever’ was also released featuring remixes, surround sound, live versions and ‘further listening’ tapes.
In 2019, IQ released their epic double album ‘Resistance’, claimed by many to be their best album to date, no mean feat for a band 38 years into its career. IQ supported its release by continuing to play concerts throughout Europe and the UK, but the arrival of Covid-19 in 2020 brought with it the cancellation of all the band’s live work. In its place, IQ arranged online streaming events of previously unseen shows, as well as releasing the 2-CD live set ‘A Show of Resistance’ and the ‘Live Like This’ Blu-ray, both recorded at the Colos-Saal in Aschaffenburg, Germany.

2021 marked the 40th anniversary of the band’s inception in 1981 and with it came the release of ‘The Archive Collection 2003-2017’, a deluxe 12” x 12” package comprising a 52-page hardback book and 11 CDs of rare material, plus an exclusive Blu-ray featuring two complete concerts, ‘Subterranea’ and ‘IQ30’, filmed in 2011. Selling out of its original limited edition pressing almost immediately, a further limited pressing likewise sold out in no time at all.

With the resumption of the band’s live work, 2022 saw the release of the 2-CD live set ‘IQ40: 40 Years of Prog Nonsense’ and in 2023, IQ set about beginning work on their next studio album, slotting writing sessions and rehearsals around their live commitments. Recording sessions began in November that year and would continue for the next 12 months.

The 2024 release of the 4-CD live set ‘The IQ Weekender 2024’, recorded in Aschaffenburg, was a commemoration of the band’s by now immensely popular annual Weekender events. While touring Europe, the band continued to work on the new album, and recording was finally completed in December that year.

2025 sees the release of ‘Dominion’, IQ’s 13th studio album and one of which the band are justifiably proud. The year will see them promoting the album by playing an unprecedented number of live shows around the world, including UK, Europe, Canada and the prestigious Cruise To The Edge in the USA.

BIO
We are a Polish music band established in 2018 in the city of Lodz, playing rock/art rock, spiced up with electronic accents.

In our music, we try not to hold on to any specific music genre – we simply play what we feel comfortable with, connecting our classic rock foundations with some new ideas and influences.



Since the first official performance in front of a wider audience, which took place at the beginning of 2019, we have been performing throughout the country as a part of all kinds of festivals, outdoor events and club stages. During the pandemic we focused on recordings in the studio, which resulted in the release of the debut album entitled „2 Years 2 Late”, which includes eight original compositions.



In April 2021, the album was released in the physical form (CD) by the Irish record label Progressive Gears Records and was very positively reviewed by music journalists and critics, not only in Poland, but also in many European countries.



Premiere of our second studio album „MACHINE CALLED LIFE” took place on the 15th of January 2025.

„MACHINE CALLED LIFE” is a collection of eight stories about life, transience and how our view of the world has changed over time. In the musical layer, we remain faithful to our original guideline, which can be described in one simple word – „OPENNESS”. Open to experiments, searching and combining different genres, we flow freely. Listen and flow with us…

ABOUT

BJØRN RIIS

..BJØRN RIIS
From Official Website



Bjørn Riis is among Norway’s most acclaimed and prolific artists in the progressive rock genre. As a songwriter, multi instrumentalist and producer, he’s transitioned from learning his trade in obscure cover bands to having worldwide success both as a forming member of Airbag and as a solo artist.

Based on a common love of bands like Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and Radiohead, Airbag formed in Oslo, Norway, in the early 2000s. Bjorn soon took the role as the band’s main songwriter and his trademark guitar playing plays a significant part in Airbag’s sound. The band’s critically acclaimed albums, including their latest The Century of the Self (“A masterclass in minimalist elegance” – Prog Magazine), has gained Airbag a strong following and a dedicated fan base.

For nearly two decades, Airbag and Bjørn has headlined sold-out shows, shared the stage with some of the biggest bands and artists in the genre, including Marillion, Yes, Saga, Neil Morse and Riverside and performed at some of the biggest festivals, including Night of the Prog and Cruise to the Edge.

Bjørn’s life in music started in the early 80s when he discovered Kiss, Black Sabbath and Whitesnake. This soon led to Bjørn picking up the guitar spending hours figuring out classic riffs and exploring weird sounds. Later, Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree was crucial in Bjørn’s formative years as a songwriter.

After firmly establishing Airbag as a force to reconned with, Bjørn went deep into his own musical roots and recorded his first solo album, Lullabies in a Car Crash, in 2014. The album was a huge success, both commercially and personally, and it gained Bjørn the confidence and inspiration to venture out on a steadily growing solo career.

As a solo artist, Bjørn’s music is multi layered taking inspiration from different genres and styles. The bands he grew up with are ever present but his unique sound also has references to late 60s singer/songwriters, americana, electronica and film music.

Bjorn’s new album, Fimbulvinter, will be out April 11 2025.

Cosmic Cathedral biography
Cosmic Cathedral is Neal MORSE, Chester THOMPSON, Phil KEAGGY, and Byron HOUSE. The album Deep Water" comes from jam sessions where Jerry Guidroz put the best parts together. What resulted from all those sessions was a more groove-oriented feel. The album's centerpiece is a 38-minute song suite. The music has the Neal Morse style of Prog Rock with some jazzy parts and more straightforward rock. There is no plan for a tour in 2025, but the band is going to perform at Morsefest in October 2025.

Pattern-Seeking Animals
January 2025

Pattern-Seeking Animals comes out of the gate in 2025 with the release of their fifth album Friend of All Creatures due out on February 14th, on GEP Records. The Los Angeles-based quartet have been one of the prog scene’s most prolific and well-received artists, beginning with the release of their self-titled debut album (2019), followed by Prehensile Tales (2020), Only Passing Through (2022) and Spooky Action at a Distance (2023).

Originally formed with past members of Spock’s Beard, Pattern-Seeking Animals (P-SA) has long since staked claim to its own identity, forging a strong path in the prog world. The band, named after a quote about human behavior from science historian Michael Shermer, PS-A is Ted Leonard (lead vocals and guitar), John Boegehold (keyboards, guitars, programming), Dave Meros (basses) and the energetic Jimmy Keegan (drums and vocals).

Friend of All Creatures (named from a verse in the Bhagavad Gita) contains 7 songs, all written by Boegehold, who also produced the album. It was engineered and mixed at Woodcliff Studio in Los Angeles by Frank Rosato in 2024.

About the new album, John Boegehold says, "We're all very proud of this album and are looking forward to everyone finally hearing it".

Cen-ProjekT biography
From Germany, this is the project of multi-instrumentalist Chirs ENGELS and a trio with bass player Wolfgang KROPF and drummer Marius BOFFGEN. The lyrics are inspired by poems. Chris has also released many studio albums under his name, but these are more on the heavier side. The music here in his 9 albums with the band has some influences from the 70's symphonic prog and bands like GENESIS and PINK FLOYD.


I am happy to release the new concept album "The Story of Enja" today :-) I assume it will be released on bandcamp first and then on all the usual platforms in the next few days. This album was important to me. It might be a bit different from the last albums. Sophie Brown and friends are also on it :-) I would like to thank Wolfgang Kropf, who recorded the bass and was a great help with the mixing. Have fun!

Dear music friends,

As of today, I am withdrawing my music with the projects "Engels" and "Cen-ProjekT" from streaming services. In the future, a new album will be available for one week on platforms like Spotify and will then be exclusively available on Bandcamp. Singles will still be accessible on streaming services. Naturally, I will provide selected journalists and online radio stations with the albums to make the music available to a wider audience.

Creating, composing, and recording music is an enormous effort. While Spotify listeners can access a vast library of music for a monthly fee, musicians receive only €0.003 for each stream. This practice allows very few artists to make a living from their music.

I produce Neo-Prog-Rock, a non-commercial niche with an audience that still appreciates and enjoys music. I am proud of each of you who is part of this community. Bandcamp will also serve as a platform for communication, and I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Best regards,

ABOUT

GERALD MASSOIS

..GERALD MASSOIS
from official website


biography
gerald massois

GERALD MASSOIS is a multi-talented French musician, composer and arranger specializing in symphonic progressive rock. Drawing his inspiration from a variety of musical styles (Ange, Peter Gabriel, Dream Theater, Ennio Morricone...), he released in 2018 his first album «Le vol erratique d'un papillon» based on the attacks of the Bataclan. Available exclusively in digital version (bandcamp, artist’s website, streaming platforms), this self-produced opus was written as the first piece of a musical trilogy. At that time, GERALD MASSOIS played all instruments except the drums of his long-time comrade Maxx GILLARD. To celebrate this album, a band is preparing to play at the Prog'Sud festival in May 2019, with JONATHAN TAVAN on bass and his co-producer NICOLAS GARDEL on keyboards.



The same year, GERALD MASSOIS begins writing new songs for his second album. Delayed by the pandemic, this album entitled «Demain à l'aube» was released on 12/01/2024 on digital and Digipack and will be available on 01/02/2025 on streaming platforms/ Bandcamp. His music combines complex arrangements, orchestral influences and a mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation to create evocative and concept-driven compositions. Some guests are invited for this album including GIONATAN CARRADONA of PROFUSION.



In addition to some orchestrations and keyboards, NICOLAS GARDEL co-orchestrates, mixes and masters the album.



The third part of the trilogy is already written...
