IQ is a British "neo-progressive" rock band founded in 1981.
IQ were one of a small number of British bands formed during the early 1980s, including Marillion, Pendragon, Twelfth Night, Pallas, Quasar, LaHost and Solstice that continued with the progressive rock style forsaken by 1970s bands such as Genesis and Yes.[2] The music press coined the phrase neo-progressive to describe these bands
The band's musical style, especially earlier in their career, was reminiscent of Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett era Genesis because of singer Peter Nicholls' vocal and stage-presence similarities to Gabriel
Mike Holmes guitar playing and solos are progressive diamonds (e.g. the solo from Shallow Bay on the 2019 album Resistance)
Neil Durant is doing some grandiose keyboarding to get every prog-fan in a good mood!
I asaw them in Copenhagen Sept 2019...great concert!
