About

What to expect

CQ Wrestling are a British grunge band led by best friends and songwriters Charlie Woods and Jake Mac.

Their fierce, melodic sound is rooted in ’90s alternative rock, and their music explores social and political unrest and moments of euphoric escape.

Their debut album Plus Ultra was released in 2023 and earned support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X.

  • Chaotic, high-energy live shows
  • Three sold-out UK tours
  • Festival appearances across Europe
  • Recent single “Smoke Screen”
  • Now fully independent
  • Single confronts misinformation, disillusionment and modern unrest
