IQ é uma banda britânica de rock progressivo fundada por Mike
Holmes em 1982, seguido do término da banda The Lens (1976-1981). Apesar da
banda nunca ter tido sucesso comercial, construiram um legado de fãs ainda
ativo. O estilo musical da banda, especialmente no início da carreira era
bastante similar à era do Genesis com Peter Gabriel e Steve Hackett, devido as
semelhanças no vocal e presença de palco de Peter Nicholls.
Movimento neo - progressivo.
IQ foi uma das poucas bandas britânicas durante o início da
década de 1980, incluindo Marillion, Pendragon, Twelfth Night e Pallas, que
continuaram com o rock progressivo das bandas da década de 1970 que ou
terminaram ou mudaram seu estilo (como o Genesis e o Yes por exemplo). A mídia
utilizou o termo neo - progressivo para descrever tais bandas, frequentemente
acusando-as de cópias de seus antecessores.
A formação da banda permaneceu estável pelos anos. O vocalista
Peter Nicholls deixou o grupo por um tempo para formar o Niadem's Ghost, tendo
sido substituído por Paul (P. L.) Menel, mas retornando posteriormente. Nicholls
também criou as capas de álbuns no qual aparecia. O baixista John Jowitt e o
tecladista MArtin Orford também foram membros do Jadis. No início de 2005 Paul
Cook deixou a banda, sendo substituído na bateria por Andy Edwards. Texto: Wikipédia. Site Oficial.
