Press Release:

One of Canada’s premier independent rock bands (based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and originally from Edmonton, Alberta) has just released their third album 'Sometimes a Cigar...is just a Cigar'. The new album features the single “Floating on Freud“ and follows their highly successful release “Searching for Adjectives” which received rave reviews worldwide and resulted in a very successful tour and radio play in Canada, US and India.

The album “Sometimes a Cigar…is just a Cigar” was recorded and co-produced in Saskatoon, Canada by Ryan Andersen (Nickelback—The Long Road, Theory of a Deadman, Moist etc.,) and mastered in Los Angeles, USA by Rob Beaton (Chinese Democracy [“Sorry” and “Shackler’s Revenge”], Buckethead, The Whole Nine Yards and trailers for Lord of the Rings and Batman Begins)

This enhanced CD contains eight songs with driving guitars and elegant intensity, a mix of alt/rock with modern sensibility, member bio, lyrics, pictures and behind the scenes studio video footage.

Some of the reviews of Q.E.D’s last album are:

Smart, slick, powerful, strange, heavy, esoteric, haunting, experimental…out of the deep blue comes one of Edmonton’s strongest rock bands. The songs are filled with layers of sound, melding electronics with hard rock grooves and themes inspired by science fiction.
         Mike Ross – The Edmonton Sun

Both the band and the CD are getting rave reviews at every stop along the way. The band might best be described as thinking man’s hard rock…combination of crunching heavy guitars and strong vocal melodies alongside hypnotic bass grooves and atmospheric texturing. Ra has a great sense of melody and a compelling vocal style. Writing intelligent and challenging rock music is becoming a lost art and I found “Searching For Adjectives” to be a refreshing change.
         Craig West – Soo Today

Many lyricists can’t tell an adjective from a pecan, and Ra quotes Arthur C. Clarke…carefully organized, even orchestrated. Solid, entertaining fare for fans with degrees.
         Todd Babiak – Edmonton Journal

Their live show will blast you out of your chair. It’s enthusiastic rock entertainment at its best.
        Al Knowing – The Reminder

Their live show is more than just four guys on stage playing their instruments. Q.E.D’s songs have a deeper quality to them, an undescribed spirituality.
        Wayne Arthurson – Vue Weekly

After constant and extensive North American tours Q.E.D has established a reputation for setting the standard for performance.
