Editor's note

Q And Not U's wiry post-hardcore with melodic hooks

A D.C. band that mixed angular energy with political lyrics across five albums in the 2000s.

For their mix of angular energy and melodic hooks, try 'Meet Me In The Pocket' and 'Air Conditions' from that first album.

They had a knack for sharp, wiry guitar lines and propulsive rhythms that felt both urgent and tuneful. Songs like 'Throw Back Your Head' show how they could build tension and release it. Their lyrics often dealt with political themes, which sometimes sparked debate.

They formed in 2001 and put out their self-titled debut the following year. After lineup changes, they kept recording through albums like 'Different Damage' in 2005 and 'Between the Cracks' in 2013.

Q and Not U formed in 2001 with John Davis on vocals and guitar, Chris Richards on guitar, Harris Klahr on bass, and Kevin Shea on drums. They put out their self-titled debut album the following year. Their sound had some of the angular energy of early 2000s post-hardcore, but they worked in melodic hooks too, as you can hear on tracks like 'Meet Me In The Pocket' and 'Air Conditions'.

Their second album, 'Different Damage', came out in 2005. Davis's lyrics often dealt with political themes, which sometimes sparked debate. The band went through some lineup changes after that, with Davis and Klahr remaining as constants. They kept recording, putting out albums like 'No Kill No Beep Beep' in 2007 and 'Power' in 2009.

They had a knack for sharp, wiry guitar lines and propulsive rhythms. Songs like 'Throw Back Your Head' and 'Snow Patterns' show how they could build tension and release it in a way that felt both urgent and tuneful. Their final studio album was 'Between the Cracks' in 2013.
