CQ Wrestling are a British grunge band led by best friends and songwriters Charlie Woods and Jake Mac, delivering a fierce yet melodic 90s-inspired sound. Their lyrics tackle social and political unrest while offering moments of euphoric escape, and their chaotic, high-energy shows have built a devoted following through three sold-out UK tours, Glastonbury 2025, and European festival appearances. After earning critical acclaim for their debut album Plus Ultra (EMI, 2023) with support from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and Radio X, the band are now fully independent, embracing complete creative freedom. Their first independent single, Catherine Wheels, hit the cover of Spotify’s Rock List, and their upcoming release, Guns In Their Hands, is a defiant rallying cry about choice, resilience, and connection amid the chaos of the world.
