Q5

Q5 is an American hard rock/heavy metal band from Seattle, Washington, which was formed in 1983. Their first studio album, titled Steel the Light, came out in 1984. Picking up critical praise, the outfit toured with the likes of Lita Ford and Twisted Sister. However, the group faced internal musical divisions that ultimately ended the project before the 1980s came to a close. They quickly reformed as Nightshade and played throughout the 1990's and early 2000's as Nightshade/Q5 In 2014, Q5 re-formed to perform at the Sweden Rock Festival, and found that the one-off event was not enough, deciding to continue on with the revamped version of the group.
