The QP
The QP eat eclecticism for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and probably keep a snack of it handy for in-between times. It's the only conclusion to draw when confronted with a barrage of folk, jazz, funk, rock and blues. And it's not as if it's perfectly blended, no there are edges here and unforeseen turns that reveal a passion for melody, and to hell with genres.
Their self-penned instrumentals are where they push the boat out furthest with Matt Crum clocking up the most songwriting credits. It's his 'Fish Fisch' that has been wowing festival audiences and having them reach for their dictionaries when they get home. It's intensely joyful riffing builds with a skittering hi-hat, guitar and Matt's melodeon before the band pile in with pinpoint bass, flute and harmonica. It's a double espresso of a track which delivers a whole lot more than one would expect from such a young outfit.
