HDQ (Hanged, Drawn and Quartered) are a British hardcore punk band from Hendon, Sunderland, formed in the mid 80's. After numerous tours and the release of three albums, two Peel Sessions, plus seven inch and twelve inch singles, 75% of the band went on with Frankie Stubbs to form Leatherface. The band reformed in the 2010's and have not released any new material since that period.
