"On 'Minus Tide' The Quit borrows from a hefty tradition of masking weighty material with deliciously upbeat melodies...The pull between lyrics and music Keeps your interest and adds a new layer each time you listen" **** 'Faster' - Single of the Month!
- Seattle Sound Magazine - June 2008
"...it’s no surprise that the beauty of “Faster,” a track that will be included on the Quit’s upcoming debut, Minus Tide, can be easily deciphered through an equation. Here goes:
[(confident, clipped guitar strum + strained bravado + lyrics about cars) + (clickity-clack rim thwacks + “ooh ooh ooooooh”s) + (relaxed strums + “keep speedin’ up, keep speedin’ up, keep speedin up”] X 4 = Nice track!"
-Seattle Sound Magazine, 3/26/08
"The band plays my kinda pop -- Brit flavored, with jangly guitars, smart hooks, and tasty boy vocals. Especially catchy: the track "Manchester"
-Three Imaginary Girls, 2/29/08
"Scott Shoemaker and Nash McBride have all the screeching fuzz and frenetic rythym of 25 year guitar veterans." The Quit are "charming and poppy."
