The Quarry [NEW EP AVAILABLE NOW]

Like Mötley Crüe....without the blow-jobs

About Me

In 2006, South London outfit The Quarry set out to solve complex philosophical problems through the medium of crossover thrash. This is a record of their story.

Not our words, the words of the New Musical Express
WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SHOWS SO GET IN TOUCHCOMING UP:
FINALLY we have a 5 song EP, 'A Flame To Light The Dark' out now on Superstrength / Home of the Brave Records. It costs only £4 including postage, so grab one hot off the presses!!

In the meantime, check out this compilation we're on that our friends at Banquet and Punktastic have put out. It only has 30 seconds of Quarry action, but there's other things on it too.

WE HAVE NEW T-SHIRTS:

These cost £7 plus £1 for postage and packing. We have Large ones in BLACK ONLY and small and medium in PURPLE AND BLACK (we reckon only slim people like coloured shirts. Unfair? We decide, and we say yes). Anyway buy one HERE:
