IQ

British Rock Legends

IQ is a British progressive rock band that was formed in 1981 following the dissolution of their former band, The Lens. Throughout their career, they have become known for their sophisticated compositions, complex lyrical themes, and elaborate live shows. The band's lineup has seen some changes over the years but has retained a consistent core with Peter Nicholls on vocals, Mike Holmes on guitar, and Martin Orford on keyboards until his departure in 2007. IQ's music is often compared to other progressive rock giants like Genesis and Yes, yet they have maintained a distinct identity within the genre.
