Back to Back

Status Quo

A glossy, synth-touched evolution of the band's signature boogie. High-sheen eighties production meets relentless Telecaster rhythms and stadium-sized hooks.

Find on Amazon

The Quo goes 80s pop without losing the boogie, and it's way catchier than you remember.

A high-energy, polished celebration of rock and roll that masks the underlying tension of a band at a crossroads.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, synth-assisted bounce of the chorus in Win or Lose that signals the band's eighties pivot.
The surprisingly tender and melodic guitar solo on Too Close to the Ground.
The interlocking Telecaster chug on No Contract that proves the boogie DNA remains intact despite the polish.
