Frontman Roberto Tiranti leads this Brescia band through three decades of melodic rock and Portuguese-language songs.
For a good sense of QBack, try 'Sonhei' or 'Meu Litoral' from their top songs. They capture that mix of Italian rock energy with Portuguese-language melody that's been their thing since the '90s.
QBack's 1997 debut 'Santa Terra' connected with listeners in their hometown of Brescia and beyond, establishing their blend of Italian rock with Portuguese lyrics. Songs like 'Eu Cheguei Lá' and 'Auto Controle' show their range, moving between harder rock and more melodic material. Through lineup changes and occasional friction, Tiranti's voice has remained central to what they do.
They formed in the early 1990s around frontman Roberto Tiranti, drummer Paolo Bergomi, and bassist Marco Mengoni, building their sound playing live shows before releasing 'Santa Terra' in 1997. Their catalog includes albums like 'Il Fiore' from 1999, 'Torno a Casa' from 2003, and 'Q.P.G.A.' from 2007. They've had moments like criticism around a Sanremo Music Festival appearance in 2000 and some legal disputes over copyright.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
