The JCQ

Described as a "mental breakdown set to music",[1] the band released one EP and two full-length studio albums: Ten Stages of a Makeup in 2010, That Was Then, This Is Now and 2011 and Mechanical Young in 2013.

[11][12] The album revived positive reception from British Publications like Big Cheese,[13] Front Magazine,[14] Rock Sound[11] and This Is Fake DIY.

[17] The JCQ's typical style features thrash riffs, breakdowns, fast pace drumming, big choruses, rapid tempo changes, atmospheric breaks and "spastic" guitar work.

[11] Mechanical Young, is seen as exploring the same areas as their first album, however is much more expansive and refined[15] by using tenor saxophones, syncopated rhythms, keyboards, harsh riffs and an extended outro.

[15] Single 'Love's No Good' has been considered their most commercial song[11] using a "funky and cool Red Hot Chili Peppers cum Fun Lovin' Criminals-esque"[17] sing-along chorus.
