"Quintus is one of my favorite new bands. The boys play with a respect for each other I've not seen in such a young band before...like they've been playin' together for years." - Levon Helm (The Band)
"These guys are pretty good, and not in the shitty kinda way."
- Scott Rogowsky (Onion News)
SMOP band Quintus = a Reubix cube of Brooklyn immigrants + suburban lostboys + yardsale action figures.
In 2006, Record Industrialists abducted, instructed, and disorderly-conducted the peachfuzzed freshmen. And after all that, the Record Medusa abruptly dropped the experiment, citing musical "irregularities". Instead, they issued a 3-year [Out-of-Office-Reply] and eventually decided to terminate the Quintus.
Meantime, while the Industriocrats were busy fending off music pirates, the boys got back up on their own ten feet and declared Indie-pendence in 2008. Now Quintus walks the underground of self-endorsed 'musicians' and Chess, the affront man of the band and alleged 'Songwriter That Sings', is rumored to be a carrier of contagious melodies. "He's a Song-u-nist!" snarfs Downtown Records executive Joe Douche. Others suspect he's the illegitimate spawn of Chess Records founder, Phil "Cadillac" Chess. Be that as it may, in a recent show of solidarity Quintus has been anointed by Moonshine, aka Mr. Lower East Side, as New York's unofficial house band.
Currently, Quintus is declassifying their audio files in the form of a full-length recording. The band's EP "The Shape We're In" (produced by and featuring musical pioneer Levon Helm) can be downloaded via facebook.
