The Quills have a sound unique to contemporary music. With tightly controlled rhythms underpinning layers of electro-synth, and vivid, sincere vocals, The Quills create fresh, modern Australian pop/rock.
The Quills have earned a reputation for outstanding live performance. Close on the heels of their headlining spring 2008 tour of South-East Queensland, The Quills recently made their second appearance at the popular Woodford Folk Festival to overflowing venues. In the past year The Quills have also supported both emerging and established artists like Sparkadia and Operator Please, and received national airplay on taste making radio station Triple J.
The Quills’ self-produced, independently released EP Some New Place (2007) debuted at No. 1 on the charts at local Brisbane radio station 4ZzZ, and went on to sell more than 1000 units from shows and web exposure alone. In 2008, The Quills followed the EP with their independently released live CD/DVD, A Thought In Your Head, documenting the first show of their similarly named spring tour at landmark Brisbane venue, The Zoo.
The band’s immediate plans are focused on expanding their audience, with national and international touring planned. The Quills will have a presence at South by South-West in Austin, Texas, and with pre-production already underway for their next release, 2009 for The Quills looks both busy and bright.

"...it’s like Kid Strange and Urban Blitz from the Doctors of Madness at
their most morose played Overhang Party, or a mogadon’d Peter Hammill
jamming with Van Der Graaf’s Graham Smith. Elsewhere, the singular
desolation is most reminiscent of the most down down moments of Nico’s
THE MARBLE INDEX or even of Jesse Colin Young’s The Youngbloods at
their most mercurial. But the Scrapes are still so original their music
ultimately don’t sound like nobody but themselves." Julian Cope
