Quin

Quin takes elements of, noise rock, math rock, post-hardcore, and early indie rock (before the genre devolved into bland safe music written for Nissan commercials); and puts it into blender creating a raucous sound that is equally challenging as it is fun, and melodic. Gritty vocals that switch between mumbling, crooning and screaming. The interplay of 3 guitars and 1 bass bouncing off each other, climaxing into crescendos of noise, effected riffs, and fuzzed out leads; all seeming to playfully wrestling with each other. The drums provide a driving back beat that hold down the chaos. At times they are verge of being swallowed by a tidal wave of riffs, leads, feedback and noise; only to keep coming through unscathed and ready for more. The jangling songs shift tempos, and time signatures but retain an unpretentious accessibility. Quin’s “Smallhouse” proves to being an exciting, uplifting, and enjoyable listen.
