Heavy Traffic

A heavy-set return to form defined by interlocking Telecasters and a relentless boogie shuffle. Stripped-back, loud, and unapologetically classic.

The Quo finally remembered they were a heavy boogie band and the result is their best record in twenty years.

Unapologetically high-energy and revitalized, channeling a blue-collar rock and roll spirit.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The opening crunch of Blues and Rhythm re-establishing the band's heavy credentials immediately.

The surprisingly sharp lyrical wit and rhythmic bounce found on Diggin’ Burt Bacharach.

The sustained, locked-in groove of the title track that refuses to let up for over four minutes.
