Welcome: IQ We are very proud to add Prog Gods IQ to our roster. With a history of over 30 years, having released more than 25 albums, including live-shows, collections and remixes, IQ are widley regarded as one of the world´s most highly respected progressive rock acts. Founded in 1981 by guitarist Mike Holmes the band soon had it´s international breaktrough with „The Wake“ in 1985. This instant classic, is seen by many as one of the defining progressive rock albums of the eighties. An UK tour with Wishbone Ash led to a lucrative major deal with Phonogram. The band toured all through europe to promote their album „Nomzamo“ and their chart-hit „Promises“, recorded with „Are your sitting comfortably?“ a world-wide success and went again on an extensive tour, this time with Mike and the Mechanics. But at the beginning of the 90´s, the band decided to go independent again to regain total control about their music. Friends and associates founded the label „Giant Electric Pea“. In the next years albums like „Ever,“, Seventh House“ and „Dark Matter“ proofed how fine that concept worked out. „Frequency“ (2009), was voted album of the year in many websites and magazines. IQ are Peter Nicholls (vox), Mike Holmes (git), Paul Cook (drums), Tim Esau (bass), Neil Durant (keys).
