Through Hell & Back

SQY Rocking Team is a four piece rock band from The Netherlands and Belgium. Their music can be described as hardrock ‘n’ roll that finds its roots in the 70s and 80s. SQY Rocking Team is known for their energetic live shows and stage performances and they have played over 800 gigs in Holland as well as abroad. In their impressive 17 years career they shared stages with famous international bands and played on several renowned festivals and venues (Bospop, Arrow Rock Festival, Heineken Music Hall, Paradiso, Melkweg). Their fourth full length CD “Full Throttle” (2004) was very well received and this caused an enormous media-boost. The follow up CD “Top Fuel Tendencies” (2006) continued the “Full Throttle” music style in which lots of guitars are combined with melodic harmonies.

SQY recently finished their new full length CD called “Demon incite”, containing a collection of robust and powerful rock songs featuring some surprising guest appearances. On this CD SQY is flirting with music genres such as pop, blues and metal without losing their own sound and face. As a result, “Demon incite” comprises ten alternating catchy songs about the dark sides of life. “Demon incite” will be launched at the LömpeKlompe Festival on the 12th and 13th of November in Bergeijk. In advance the video of the hit single “Hell Yeah!” is to be released in Oktober 2010.

Quotes Reviews “Top Fuel Tendencies “ :

“ We can strongly recommend this new album from SQY Rocking Team. Not many bands in Holland play this kind of music, so we are already not overloaded with a dozen of these bands, but on top of this, these 4 guys are absolutely among the best we have “.
MusicFrom.nl

“ Now here is their new album, and it is filled with ten hard and powerful rock tunes so if you are into honest and cool rock music, then this is really something worth of checking out.”
Aardschok Magazine Holland

“ These Dutch hardrock 'n' rollers play loud as fuck ! No childish bullshit, but Dutch hardrock which could have had LA as its base. Great southern sleaze, stoner hardrock with heavy guitars, combined with melodic ( poly-phonic ) vocals. This is how hardrock should sound like, honest and sincere. An absolute recommendation if you like bands as : Molly Hatched, Motorhead en Kiss. Definitely buy this CD and make sure to go and watch them live !“
Violent Moshground Magazine

“ During the songs Pear Shaped Beauty and She Says the band takes a little break, but for the rest of the album they play at full speed. A typical CD to listen to while you’re on the road. Conclusion : an adult record with a collection of REAL songs.“
