'''EQ''' was a four-piece rock band performing and recording original music in North London between 1998 and 2001. EQ's style blended melodic rock soon to be popularised by the likes of Coldplay, with distinctive and powerful driving basslines and jagged, dancey drum loops more in the style of The Stone Roses.

The band was comprised of former schoolfriends Alex Smith (lead singer/guitars), Marcus Bonfanti (guitars/backing vocals), Jack Stevens (bass - replacing Kevin Wun in 1999) and Jack Daley (replacing Clifford Samuel on drums in 1999).

Originally formed under the moniker Equilibrium, the band played their first show in September 1998 at the Kentish Town Bull and Gate, before progressing to more reputable London venues including The Barfly, Dublin Castle, The Verge and Islington Hope and Anchor. In 1999, the group came of age, finishing third in a Camden and Islington Battle of The Bands at a sold out Garage show, and eventually selling out their own gigs and the Electirc Ballroom and Underworld in their Camden stomping ground.

Although very little recorded music has survived to this day, EQ received several positive write ups in local and national press in 2000, including a full page spread in the Daily Telegraph, calling the young group "The best new band in Britain" and noting their music as "funky, melodic and infectious."
