1) Status Quo was formed in 1962 under the name "The Scorpions". By 1967, the group had discovered psychedelia and named themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to "Traffic Jam" to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic, following an argument over who had registered the name first.
Formed in 1962 by Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster at Sedgehill Comprehensive School, Catford, along with classmates Alan Key (drums) and Jess Jaworski (keyboards). Rossi and Lancaster played their first gig at the Samuel Jones Sports Club in Dulwich, London. In 1963, Key was replaced by John Coghlan and the band changed name to "The Spectres". They began writing their own material and after a year met Rick Parfitt who was playing with a cabaret band called The Highlights. By the end of 1965, Rossi and Parfitt, who had become close friends, made a commitment to continue working together. On 18 July 1966, The Spectres signed a five-year deal with Piccadilly Records, releasing two singles that year, "I (Who Have Nothing)" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man" (written by Alan Lancaster), and one the next year called "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" (a song originally recorded by New York psychedelic band The Blues Magoos). All three singles failed to make an impact on the charts. Parfitt joined the band in 1967.
By 1967, the group had discovered psychedelia and named themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to "Traffic Jam" to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic, following an argument over who had registered the name first. The band, with newly-joined organist Roy Lynes, secured an appearance on BBC Radio's Saturday Club, but their next single, "Almost But Not Quite There", underperformed.
In late 1967, the group were now officially calling themselves Status Quo, and in January 1968 released the psychedelic-flavoured "Pictures of Matchstick Men". Rick Parfitt was invited to join the band just as the song hit the UK Singles Chart, reaching number seven; "Matchstick Men" additionally became the group's only Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. Although Status Quo's albums have been released in the United States throughout their career, they never achieved the same level of success as they have in their home country.
2) Traffic Jam band exists since 1998 and was founded by two gentlemen: Karol Ptach and Wiktor Kurc (www.Graphvic.pl). They create difficult to define music, which is a good blend synth-pop, experimental electronic music, deep-house and electro. They describe their music as a fusion of voice transformation and emotional electronic musical landscapes.
They played concerts with such bands as Swayzak, Skalpel or Tworzywo Sztuczne. Quite recently their number “Montreal” was published on a notable collection of a SITE-REC netlabel, which has not go unnoticed and the number was used by dj Q-Man in his “Night Glow” set that was published in German SUBSOURCE

Traffic Jam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A song about the end cause we might
Work it out together this time
Maybe if we’re clever and I’m
Thinking that we have a chance
I got a feeling that our romance
Is just about to be startingAnd this time I’ll be guarding what we have
I should have said before
What you still mean to me
And what it is that I am headed for
I want you back for more
It’s been a fight sometimes
About who’s wrong and right and all kinds
Of little things that didn’t matter
I think we can do that better
Yeah, it’s been a fight sometimes
But then love, night and rhymes
Found us sweetly kissing
And that’s what I don’t want to be missing anymore
I should have said before
What you still mean to me
And what it is that I am headed for
I want you back for more
I don’t intend to write
A song about the end cause we might
Work it out together this time
Maybe if we’re clever and I’m
Thinking that we have a chance
I got a feeling that our romance
Is just about to be starting
And this time I’ll be guarding what we have
I should have said before
What you still mean to me
And what it is that I am headed for
I want you back for more
I should have said before
What you still mean to me
And what it is that I am headed for
I want you back for more
Yeah yeah I want you back for more

I don’t intend to write
I have no desire to compose
A song about the end cause we might
a tune lamenting a conclusion, because there's potential
Work it out together this time
to find a solution collectively this time around
Maybe if we’re clever and I’m
perhaps with some wisdom and foresight on my part
Thinking that we have a chance
believing that an opportunity exists for us
I got a feeling that our romance
I sense that our love story
Is just about to be starting
is on the verge of beginning anew
And this time I’ll be guarding what we have

It’s been a fight sometimes
there have been conflicts along the way
About who’s wrong and right and all kinds
over various disagreements concerning rightness and fault
Of little things that didn’t matter
over trivial matters that ultimately held no real weight
I think we can do that better
I believe we can manage our relationship more effectively
Yeah, it’s been a fight sometimes
indeed, conflicts have arisen at times
But then love, night and rhymes
yet, amidst it all, love, romantic evenings, and poetry
Found us sweetly kissing
led us to moments of tender affection
And that’s what I don’t want to be missing anymore
and those are the experiences I yearn to hold onto from now on
I should have said before
I should have communicated earlier
What you still mean to me

And what it is that I am headed for
and the aspirations I have for the future
I want you back for more
I long to revive our connection with even more passion

I wish to have you return to my life, with greater intensity
Yeah yeah I want you back for more
Indeed, my desire is to bring you back into my life, with enthusiasm
