Quid Pro Quo

Status Quo

The heavy boogie shuffle. Relentless Telecaster interplay and driving rhythms that prove the Quo formula is indestructible.

Find on Amazon

It's exactly what you want from the Quo: loud guitars, big shuffles, and zero nonsense.

Unapologetically high-energy rock that celebrates its own reliability and rhythmic power.

In the Army Now (studio version 2010)

Moments Worth Waiting For
the immediate locked-in shuffle of the opening track that signals the band hasn't lost an ounce of their signature swing
the updated 2010 version of In the Army Now which trades the synth-heavy 80s sheen for a more grounded and muscular rock arrangement
the way the dual guitar harmonies on Let's Rock recall the band's mid-70s peak with surprising freshness
