From the ashes of Linköping's first punk band, Tings of London, IQ 55 arose in 1978. Their ground-breaking live performances quickly made them the most sought-after band in their hometown.
In 1979, IQ 55 recorded their first and only single, "Livet Är En Bluff (Balladen)/ Bara Svårigheter," in Gothenburg. After their contribution on the compilation album Arnes Korvbar and several attempts to catch the attention of the major record companies, the band disbanded in October 1983.
Now for the first time ever, the full-length album "Kristaller" consisting of IQ 55's timeless, original and raw sound is being released.
