"Quiet Loudly will melt faces and hearts with their passionate “soul-gazeâ€. Come indulge as the trio’s dreamy-yet-angular guitar lines snake their way through a warm bed of propulsive drums and bass, carrying the oh-so soothing vocals needed in these hard times." -Bill Dvorak, The Deli Magazine. NYC artists on the rise, featured on 03/24/09
"quiet Loudly are a spectral noise-rock group whose name actually describes their music rather accurately. Their three-man lineup recently settled to permanently include bassist Tony Aquilino (also of Gunfight), and their camaraderie shows. Soaring through the entirety of their upcoming album (minus the horns and organ included in the studio mix), quiet Loudly’s performance was tighter than ever. Consistently impressive is the band’s ability to cut loose onstage, to “rock out,†as it were, without devolving into chaos, to play with noise without sounding too “noisy†(you know, the way an old person in a movie would mean it)." -Nat Towsen, Tiny Mix Tapes. Live Review, Vanishing Point 01/31/09
"They were followed by Quiet Loudly, an ambient/experimental band located in Brooklyn who did a chillingly psyched-out cover of Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side." The band moved all over the map with heavy distortion and beautiful breakdowns to blues-influenced guitar with stretching vulnerable vocals. Their flowing rock and roll/grunge/Post-Punk influenced style was extremely evocative and impressive. They ended with an epic song full of smooth and colorful guitar solos, really vibrant and experimental drums accompanied by spastic bass lines. Someone commented during their set that though we were in a strip club, Quiet Loudly was "Much more fulfilling than boobies." -Lauren Piper, CMJ Staff Blog. Live Review 09/27/07
"One of NYC's most dynamic new bands...Their set is guaranteed to be a wake-up call to all who thought everything with challenging, guitar-based indie rock had already been done. Quiet Loudly's jagged and angular guitar riffs puncture the tightly-knit rhythmic blanket of the drums and bass, and soaring vocals and playful harmonies keep the audience on track with plenty of euphonic (and euphoric) melody." -The Deli Magazine. Featured on 11/16/07
"These tunes have some pretty serious guitar playing going on...There is a cover of "Walk on The Wild Side". I love it. I am a fan of Lou Reed, but it always bothered me that this song by Lou is really a desperation song but to me, Lou sounded sort of happy. Quiet Loudly took the despair inherent in the tune and smashed it in your face. Think of everything that was wrong with the Marky Mark version and reverse it's polarity to goodness. If Quiet Loudly reduced the song length from the 9 minutes it currently occupies to 4 minutes; Not only would they have a radio hit, but they would also destroy what makes their version this song a masterpiece." -Boston Music Reviews. Review of "Destroy All Monsters", 05/23/08
