Are Abztraqt Sir Q the best kept secret of portuguese music? Judging by their new album we dare swear it so. This is an album filled with imagination, experimentation, and a lot of restless songs, those that you feel like listening over and over again. It salutes us (for lack of a better term) with excellent avant-garde pop music, simple and complex, dense and light. - in Time Out Lisboa by José Marmeleira
In this pop play that has a beginning, a middle, and an end, though, paraphrasing Goddard, "not necessarily by that order", AbztraQt Sir Q are many things at once (you can hear blues guitars, jazzy moods, pop harmonies, strange vaudevilles, punk riots) but none of these are declared as the main purpose.
Each song presents a carefully elaborated script and Abztraqt Sir Q have the virtue of doing it spontaneously as if the songs are materialized right there on the spot. - in Publico by Mário Lopes
At their second album of originals AbztraQt Sir Q reveal themselves as a national value of high caliber waiting for their deserved recognition. It is a pity that this may go unnoticed in our country (Portugal), but it is a situation that will most likely happen. One must keep its fingers crossed and hope for a signal from beyond. - in Barulho Esquisito by Anfilófio
AbztraQt Sir Q: Pop that come from another world.
They are portuguese but they could have easily come from any parallel reality or alien world. - Sapo Notícias by Gonçalo Sá

Andy Newman iz the drummer thundering the time of life. Egon Crippa the bass guitar sparkling the echo in major tone. Mundina Moruniq iz the vocal sound waving the melody heart. Peter Shuy playz the electric guitar fleeting in the sky-line. They settled in the Xing Palace Place, with itz beautiful Qorn-pop garden in the Xing Xu island, somewhere in the Far East, to give birth to songz for the world to listen. From the past to right now, to intercross the universe with happiness and freedom, ASQ born till the end not ever ending, the infinite return, the ones to be one only, the AbztraQt Sir Q.
