Q and A are a four-piece, London based band comprising Emma James, Rory Thomas, Joe Wheeler and Johno Donacchie. The band formed in 2012, motivated by a common desire to create an exciting, innovative and unique brand of guitar-driven music fusing an unusual combination of musical influences from a wide range of sources.

The band has aimed to avoid falling into genre convention, instead choosing to incorporate elements from apparently disparate artists and genres, from Michael Jackson to Sonic Youth, free jazz to drum and bass. 

The foundation of their sound is Joe and Johno’s rhythm section. Melodic bass lines, underlined by aggressive, cyclical drumming provide a backdrop to Rory’s intense, thrashing guitar playing and richly textured, powerful vocals, and new addition Emma provides a ghostly, smoky, soulful vocal counterpoint to the band’s sound. Rory’s lyrics are often cryptic, sometimes surreal and flavoured by a dose of black humour. Often featuring recurring characters, the lyrics provide the script to the band’s cinematic musical design.

Currently the band is self-producing an upcoming four track EP, due for release in September. You can hear some of the band’s demo quality tracks on Soundcloud at soundcloud.com/qandaband. For more information, please find them on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or email them at qandaband@london.com.
