REVIEW The Fly Magazine April 2009 ALBUM THE QUAILS – I’VE HEARD IT’S ALL RUMOURS “The first time I saw this Indie rocking five-piece live, they blew all the other bands clean off the stage; tight, professional and oozing with energy, The Quails are the real deal. ‘I’ve Heard it’s all Rumours’ is the band’s debut album and it’s a 9-track indie gem bursting with anthems destined to charm the crowds at festivals and stadiums the world over.’ The Fly web site April 2009 “The Quails are a fusion of indie-rock and pop, delivering quirky and catchy tunes bound by an eclectic taste in music old and new, and are arriving onto the live scene with a dazzlingly eccentric demeanour and vocals that thrust a totally charismatic new front man onto the music scope.”
Sounds Like The Quails

GIG REVIEW AT THE FLEECE, BRISTOL, JANUARY 2009 "Headliners of the night were five piece The Quails. This band's performance was so tight and professional; you couldn't fault it in anyway. They had such an ease on stage, you'd think they'd been born to perform. Their style of indie pop with a rock edge instantly caught your attention with the power behind the music and the catchiness of the lyrics. The song 'Mr Right', instantly got in your head with lyrics like "Mr Right, going out tonight", you feel like you've known the band for years. The ten song set kept the audience enthralled throughout. I practically fell in love with the sound of, I believe Max Armstrong's guitar. He sounded like he could break out in a guitar solo at any moment, and it wouldn't sound egotistical at all. Dan Steer's vocals could be described as sounding like a mix between Kyle Falconer of The View, and Alex Turner of Artic Monkeys, but then every singer has their own style. Dan's voice is so powerful; it fits in perfectly with the looping guitar riffs and strong beats. This blend of music has to have you moving, these guys are so talented, you wouldn't believe. I very strongly recommend checking this band out and getting them back in Bristol as soon as we can." Jodie Humphries www.live-music-scene.co.uk

GIG REVIEW

THE BLUE BAR, PORTHTOWAN, CORNWALL, February 2009
"The Quails are the perfect package. The quirky five piece from Teignmouth, Devon storm the stage with their classic - rock-edged indie/pop tunes and cool shoes. Visually well-styled they are a record company's dream and could easily be cut out and pasted on to a major festival stage. With a number of prestigious gigs and an album under their belt, it is unbelievable that The Quails remain unsigned. The band set tongues wagging even before they arrive at a gig. The stir they have caused 'over the bridge' seems to be reaching the furthest darkest points of Cornwall and is spreading like wild fire across the South West and beyond." Go To Magazine

GIG REVIEW, THE HALF MOON PUTNEY “It's not often that the bar staff at a great music venue like the Half Moon rave about a new band – come on, they've seen it all before. But that's exactly what happened last night when The Quails hit London like a category five hurricane.

The five-piece, from the sleepy Devon seaside town of Teignmouth, blasted through a fantastic set of danceable, quirky indie pop songs that left the audience breathless and begging for more. Front-man singer/guitarist Dan Steer may look like a badly drawn boy but he sounds like the finished article and guitarist Max Armstrong stunned the crowd with some amazing chunky riffs, while every hit-you-where-it-matters song was underpinned by the tightest rhythm section outside an atomic clock, courtesy of bassist Sam Banks, drummer Chris Prentice and rhythm guitarist John foulkes. Talk about a Wall of Sound! Phil Spector, eat your heart out, because these boys sounded like Heathrow the night before a bank holiday.

Teignmouth already has one band that are doing reasonably well for themselves - I think they're called Muse. But here's a tip for you: The Quails are coming, and if anybody asks you how you know, tell them a little bird told you.”

For a fresh sound that hasn't been heard this decade, comprised of melodic soulful tunes, and mind blowing solos, this wall of glam rock and roll energy is laced and intertwined with awesome anthemic vocals and lyrics . Look no further, just remember the name, The Quails." Colin Parrish

ALBUM REVIEW

"I'll cut to the chase... Marvellous, Fantastic, Sooper Dooper! 'I've Heard it's All Rumours' is by far one of the best examples of how to put your first album together. Nine tracks of belting anthems that put to shame many albums selling millions. Killers? Kaiser Chiefs? Behave... The Quails hold the answer to what makes a great Indie scene. Unlimited energy, intelligent songs and oodles of charm. Go hear this live before you're paying through the nose to see this band at Wembley"Go To Magazine

Fellas! It was great playing with you last week. We'll keep you posted on this Joiners show.

On the 12th of April we are both playing Plymouth in different places, I think a cheeky post set beer or two is on the cards.
