“Indeed, with Qu, Sherwood have transcended the overcrowded pop-rock scene in favor of greener pop pastures.” – 4/5

“…articulates the simplicity of summer wrapped around a catchy melody.” – 5/5

“Equal parts cohesive, stimulating and musically stunning…If this doesn’t turn some heads, the music industry is truly dead inside.”

“Make modern sunny pop music that owes a heavy California edge to bands like The Beach Boys.”

Qu is without a question the band’s most mature album to date and the result of nearly a year of work.  In July 2008 the five members of Sherwood – Mike Leibovich (keyboards), Dan Koch (guitars/vocals), Nate Henry (vocals/bass), David Provenzano (guitar/vocals) and Joe Greenetz (drums) – squirreled away in a rented apartment in Oakland, CA and dove head first into writing music.  Never having this kind of freedom to write, they devoted countless hours each day to crafting song after song, a process which Leibovich says “felt like we were testing our limits and abilities.”  They emerged 9 months later with 85 songs which they carefully narrowed down to 11 before heading into the studio with Wood.
