CQ Wrestling
CQ Wrestling are a British grunge band led by Charlie Woods and Jake Mac, delivering a fierce yet melodic sound. Their lyrics confront social and political unrest while offering moments of euphoric escape, and their chaotic, high-energy live shows have built a devoted following through three sold-out UK tours, Glastonbury 2025, and appearances at major European festivals.
Following critical acclaim for their debut album Plus Ultra (EMI, 2023), supported by BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and Radio X, the band are now fully independent. Their latest single “Smoke Screen” earned a second cover of Spotify’s Rock List, driving placement across major playlists and rapid audience growth, with increasing traction in US markets. Touring plans are underway throughout the year.
