Taking their name from an old nightclub in Chester, QUAINTWAYS were formed with Northern Soul ringing in their ears.
Drawing on the sounds and music traditions from the North West of England QUAINTWAYS write proper pop songs and deliver them with attitude.
Their musical style has drawn comparisons to the Stone Roses, The La's, The Cure and the Kinks. Their songs are future classics, and importantly get people dancing at live shows. All good music can be labelled as Soul music because it comes from the Soul, which is exactly where QUAINTWAYS come from.

Reviews
"The fourth and latest release of OJM is Under the Thunder, a real bombshell dropped by an exceptional producer: Michael Davis, the MC5's original bass player! It is an irresistible mix of Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Stooges, MC5, Black Sabbath and Grand Funk Railroad. The band is dominated by the magnetic stage presence of David, whose's deep, sonorous baritone voice combines elements of Black Sabbath with The Doors. Alex's phasing, feedback and distortion are perfectly combined with the bombastic drumming of Max and further enhanced by the kaleidoscopic sound effects of Andrea, who puts the notes through a wah wah pedal to produce overdriven, distorted overtones. "
