Querelle are an Italian trio who sculpt beautiful post-rock out of their tiny undernourished buzzing hearts. Described as a cross between The Lapse, Blonde Redhead and Unwound, they have been creating somewhat of a reputation with their live shows, holding their own with the likes of Life Without Buildings, Kaito, Reynolds, Degrassi and The Dudley Corporation. The press have reported:

"As the aching guitar and thundering drums crash into a cacophonous finale, I realise that I never want to be without Querelle again. I want to rush out and buy their records. The only problem is that they haven't even made any yet." bleedmusic

"Querelle leave newcomers shell-shocked with their explosive post punk, a cross between The Lapse, Sonic Youth and Unwound. A must see band!." [nopassingphase]

"Querelle really did take me a back they certainly did succeed to blow me away, well, until it was time to think about catching that last central line tube home!" Do Something Pretty

The band split up in the summer of 2002 citing that "Somebody in the band doesn't want to play with the present line up. Simple as that." That was the end of Querelle. ... for a while. Now, they're back with a new lineup. So, all is good in the world again.
