Smart, slick, powerful, strange, heavy, esoteric, haunting, experimental…out of the deep blue comes one of Edmonton’s strongest rock bands.  The songs are filled with layers of sound, melding electronics with hard rock grooves and themes inspired by science fiction.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMike Ross – The Edmonton Sun\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. …an unpredictable sojourn into the rough bequeathing diamond treasures.  Their quirky sonic layers and unconventional lyric patterns keep you listening like you’d watch an M. Night Shyamalan flick, wondering what’s going to happen next.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Parks – Prince George Free Press\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3. Both the band and the CD are getting rave reviews at every stop along the way.  The band might best be described as thinking man’s hard rock…combination of crunching heavy guitars and strong vocal melodies alongside hypnotic bass grooves and atmospheric texturing.  Ra has a great sense of melody and a compelling vocal style.  Writing intelligent and challenging rock music is becoming a lost art and I found “Searching For Adjectives” to be a refreshing change.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCraig West – Soo Today\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4. Their live show is more than just four guys on stage playing their instruments.  Q.E.D’s songs have a deeper quality to them, an undescribed spirituality.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWayne Arthurson – Vue Weekly\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5. …music set to metaphorical poetry which focuses on more cerebral subjects.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinnipeg Sun\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6.

Many lyricists can’t tell an adjective from a pecan, and Ra quotes Arthur C. Clarke…carefully organized, even orchestrated.

It is such a rare pleasure to see a band get on a stage and take immediate charge…what was most important to me was that I was watching a band that imbued every tune they did with a unique energy and intelligence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJayashree Singh – Gigpad.com\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12. Canadian band Q.E.D did their first show in Mumbai, India to a tiny crowd and bad sound at Razz, but they were bloody amazing. The band, in its hour long set took me from initial apprehension, to upbeat approval, to an unmitigated thumbs up as I walked out of Razz a fan, glad to have been there, glad to have caught them in action.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandeep Mittal – Gigpad.com\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13. The first thing that came across like a furious haymaker was the edgy tightness\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand easy energy of the foursome. I came out of the gig hoarse and with a rapidly developing crick in the neck – two sure shot signs of having been to a kickass gig. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatch out for these guys, they’re
