QUE POSSUM SECTION/ARCHIVE

now. this is THE band of all time

Que Possum

Que Possum was a band started in 2007 and ended around about late April 2008.
The band consisted of Ciera Coleman (vocals, guitar(?)), Jay Shusterman(guitar, vocals) and someone called Todd (drums) (i believe his last name was Wiessfeld but this is just a theory and isn't confirmed).
The band released 3 songs on physical media (two being 7" records and the other being cassette or CD). These consisted of:
Only Unrested is on streaming services however Ciera's band Cassolette covered Stay Heavy
however, the band made more songs and thanks to the help of Ciera i have them here!

    words i've found reviewing/describing que possum.

    WIP
    "come for the 3 exclusive Boyracer tracks, stay for the 2 very Unrest-ish great Que Possum tunes!" ~ Jigsaw Records describing the QP/Boyracer 7"

    "Sorry to hear about Que Possum! :(" ~ Steve Clay on his website on April 29th, confirming the band broke up in april instead of May which I previously thought.

    "Que Possum are/where an amazing band who had the punk insight to split up the day this record came back from the pressing plant, (scuppering any chance of me breaking even of course, but fuckit who cares). From the split 7inch w/Boyracer with a lovely glowinthedark sleeve." ~ Stewart or Jen of Boyracer/555 recs on the bandcamp track of Unrested from the 555 sampler.

    "It's really exciting to see Ciera again, I think it's been a year or maybe two since she was down here. She has had some really cool bands before, Que Possum for example released a fantastic split 7" with Boyracer" ~ Cloudberry Roque, on their fantastic blog.

    "3 of my favourite ever Boyracer tracks, and 2 breathtaking Que Possum tracks. With a frigging glow-in-the-dark record sleeve too. C'mon people! For those who have yet to experience QP they are sort of like an upbeat lo-fi Unrest." ~ Stewart or Jen of Boyracer/555 on their old news page for 555.
