The Qemists // Join The Q
The Qemists - Join The Q
In what has proven to be a freezing start to the New Year, the forthcoming album from the Qemists – ‘Join The Q’ - should definitely get the old blood cells pumping around the body. I can’t promise that this will result in a hard-on, but I can say that the album’s combination of drum n’ bass and rock music is definitely worth a listen. Some people may scorn at this amalgamation for being similar to that of Pendulum, but that would be a little unfair. Not that there’s anything wrong with Pendulum, but the Qemists are different in that they don’t appear to be as commercially orientated (not yet anyway). However, they deserve to be commended for this album as it features some well-composed catchy tracks. Nothing too technical or hardcore to scare off people not used to delights of drum n’ bass, but a halfway point that would encourage new listeners whilst satisfying existing fans. However, the Qemists may need to work on their track names as the likes of ‘Stompbox,’ 'Drop The Audio,’ and When UR Lonely’ don’t seem to do any justice. Maybe it’s a good thing they just stick to making music.
