Quick 50

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.....

About Me



Formed at the end of 2002 as a recording studio project, the four members of Quick 50 broke out in October of 2003 with it's first of many shows to come. This sound with it's heavy edgy guitar riffs laced with psycadelic grooves, pounding rhythms and topical lyric content from drugs to suicide, to serial murder and other frailties of human nature, will invoke an honest and very real picture of today's society. With close to 200 shows in just over two years, the band has been a work horse on the road playing all over California and Nevada, headlining shows and supporting for National acts including Deftones, Drowning Pool, Walking Concert (featuring Walter Schreifels of Quicksand), Revolution Smile, Capital rec. artists Huck Johns, just to name a few. The members of Quick 50 have opened new roads and taken itself down the Rock-n-Roll highway of the world, the foundation has been laid for a raw, aggressive and very psychotic brand of Rock-n-Roll.

Influences: You could say the Biggest influence on this band has been life itself.... But in a word you could also throw out the typical cliche' response and say, oooh, I don't knoooow, 90's grungy slacker seattle rock (which would be true!), or you could throw in some seventies bands like AC/DC or Led Zeppelin (which again..yes..would be true!) But do you really hear any one big influence in this bands sound? Can you say"yeah, they sound just like"(..insert generic band here...) Hopefully not. Because, If you cannot ? Quick 50 have done it's job at being it's own little entity in this evergrowing conjested world known as "THE MUSIC BIZZ" ...but thank (whoever you believe in), that there is always room for the next whoevers to come on in and get expressive! ...influence that!!
