Q65 - Revolution

Review by Colin Nevin

Revolution, the album by Q65, is a classic piece of 1960s garage rock that showcases the band's raw energy and gritty sound. Released in 1966, the album features ten tracks that range from bluesy rockers to psychedelic jams, all driven by the powerful vocals of lead singer Wim Bieler and the fiery guitar work of Joop Roelofs.

The opening track, "I Despise You," sets the tone for the album with its snarling vocals and fuzzed-out guitar riffs. Other standout tracks include the bluesy "Summer Thoughts in a Field of Weed," the driving "Revolution," and the haunting "Kameraadjes."

Throughout the album, Q65's musicianship is on full display, with tight rhythms and inventive guitar solos that showcase the band's versatility. The production is raw and unpolished, giving the album a live feel that captures the energy of Q65's live performances.

About Q65

Formed in 1965 in The Hague (The Netherlands), they made their recording debut with 'You're The Victor', a wild, rhythmic track inspired by the Pretty Things. It was succeeded by the equally compulsive 'The Life I Live', a searing slice of R&B. Q65 travelled to London to promote this release but, having been denied work permits, opted to turn the visit into a promotional tool. They returned to The Netherlands on a rubber lifeboat, taking almost 12 hours to cross the Channel. Upon landing at the Scheveningen Pier, the group was greeted by almost 30.000 cheering fans who were rewarded with an open-air concert. The menacing 'I Despise You' was followed by 'Revolution', their 1966 debut album, which blended original material with R&B standards, notably a 13-minute version of Sonny Boy Williamson's 'Bring It On Home'. In 1967 they released the 'Kjoe Blues EP'. They were into soft drag, and their sound changed. In 1968 Wim was drafted into the army. This marked the end of the first Q65 era. They regrouped in 1970 with a new album called 'Afganistan'. In 1971 'the Q' releases their third and final album 'We Are Gonna Make It'. The sound was different from their early era, more psychedelic.
