Bio
JSQ was formed in August 2007 and having gone through a few line up changes ends up with a very unique father / son line up on guitar and bass. JSQ creates a very unique sound which has influences from the 70's and 80's (Andrew) and the 90's and 00's (Chris). This gives the band a sound which would be reminiscent of early Chili peppers meets Audioslave and everything in between. Clare's vocals and lyrics sweetens the rough guitar sound to create a very listenable danceable and unique sound which we define as Grunk (our own Genre)
"...John Smith Quintet includes an invisible member as there are only four members in the band. Questions of sanity aside, this band doesn’t like to try and explain their music. 'We like to do our own thing,' says Chris Frangou, bass player of JSQ, 'I call it “grunk”...'"
