From the ashes of Link÷ping's pioneering punk band, Tings of London, IQ 55 emerged onto the scene in 1978. Their compelling performances quickly made them the most sought-after band in their hometown. In 1979, IQ 55 recorded their first and only single, "Livet ─r En Bluff (Balladen) / Bara SvÕrigheter," in Gothenburg. Following their contribution to the compilation album Arnes Korvbar and numerous attempts to attract record labels, the band disbanded in October 1983. Now, for the first time, the full-length album "Livet ─r En Bluff" containing IQ 55's timeless, original, and raw sound is here.
