QWest (Pronounced Quest) is a fantastic AOR group out of Alberta Canada that really didn't get the success they deserved as recognized by their fantastic production, lyrics and music they created over a course of two releases. While their first release in 1981 entitled Tampico Gold it was more of a Pomp, New Wave sound (Duran Duran, The Cars, Chilliwack, Heart) that wasn't really polished until 1984 when the band worked fully with Dan Lowe (Boulevard, Brian Island, White Wolf, Prototype) to release "Dream Zone". Signed to Quality records; there are a lot of solid tracks on this release including both "Nothing To Lose", "Never Forget", "We Need Love" and "Dreamer" which were all released as singles and somehow did not chart. The song "I don't want to break your heart" in my opinion would of been a hit song and was not released as a single at that time. Musician Brian Island (Prototype, Brian Island) also worked with the group assisting with backup vocals. With no music video to further grow their audience; and limited radio airplay - the band eventually called it quits shortly after. This is another fantastic AOR release in the vein of early Bon Jovi and Foreigner with their own unique sound that should not be overlooked.
