“Output 1 might just see them reap the rewards that they definitely deserve for the music created here. Very nice…. As a five piece, Quietland have all the ingredients needed to make some good tunes and they don..t disapoint here… 9/10”
"... the bands epic strides are well represented... The acoustic flourishes on “Shade Of Black” are wonderfully presented and when the band really do get into a progressive gallop on “I’m Tired” you begin to get a real taste for their hybrid of Seattle / MOR / New Rock sounds..."
"...what an album!... In a nutshell, Output 1 is utterly brilliant. It ebbs and flows with a confidence... We genuinely believe, after hearing this, that Quietland could be leading the way for Manchester music for years to come..."
"... Quietland are a special band, this is clear from the moment that the first track begins to play. Their sound is fresh yet familiar, with influences such as Jeff Buckley clearly recognizable... 'Output 1' is bursting with pristine, well produced, and harmonious recordings... a talented band, and deserve positive notoriety, I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them... With Quietland you have no sense of security, these talented musicians can take the auditory senses almost anywhere..."
FINALLY! A long time coming, but worth the wait.. The full video of Pale&Wired...

In 1997, a group of teenagers met while studying for various degrees in music at Salford University. They started writing together, and found it to be a good partnership…good enough to still be going a decade later.
Ten years on they’re still writing together, and bring the love, life experience, maturity, and proficiency to their music that only time can confer.
Arising out of a central love of good songs, Quietland’s sound incorporates the acoustic beauty of Scott Matthews, the loud harmony of Smashing Pumpkins, the soaring melody of Jeff Buckley and the progressive development of Porcupine Tree. The result? A sound which is truly their own.
They bring honesty, reflection and guts contained within music influenced by artists as diverse as Smashing Pumpkins, Nick Drake and Antony and the Johnsons.
Although Quietland was initially a studio project, the new album Output 1
has been developed as a live band. Output 1 has been self-financed, recorded and released on Babyboom Records UK. Quietland are now looking for publishing, synchronisation and licensing.
Quietland would like to thank the following for their invaluable contribution to Output 1:
