Queensrÿche is the debut EP by American heavy metal band Queensrÿche, released independently in 1982 through 206 Records and reissued later that next year through EMI America Records. A remastered edition was reissued in 2003 through Capitol Records.
In the early 1980s, Queensrÿche was known as The Mob, a cover band that played songs from popular heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.[3] Their line-up consisted of guitarists Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton, drummer Scott Rockenfield and bassist Eddie Jackson. Without a singer, they performed several shows with Geoff Tate, who at the time was the front man of the local band Babylon, and later of Myth. Tate chose not to join The Mob, because he was not interested in performing heavy metal covers.[4]

Inspired by the positive responses from their performances at local rock festivals, The Mob decided to switch from playing cover songs to writing original music.[4] The four members, who were between 17 and 19 years old,[5] rehearsed five days a week[4] in the basement of Rockenfield's parents,[5]
