Influences: It's hard to describe Red Quiet's music specifically. It's not "emo", not "metal," not "punk," not "post-rock." You can't really say that they are like Interpol, or Tool, or Soundgarden, or The Stooges, or any of the bands a certain section may channel. The music is, at bottom, an organic construction of different genres at their best moments, based around a tight control of dynamics. You can hear 90s alternative, early punk, post-rock, glam, late 60s New York, and a host of influences, but the songs are built piece by piece, using different elements and eras to create something powerful and original. There are no obvious chord progressions, no "solos," just beautiful guitar lines and driving drums and bass, each section flowing smoothly into the next. It is certainly "heavy" music, thrashy and experimental. But it is never morbid, droning, or melodramatic, the common pitfalls of music on the "darker side" of indie rock (while the other side must avoid being precious and bland). ~http://www.bostonbandcrush.com
"'Ladderlegs’ fidgety garage rock would have elicited a glowing review, except I’m pretty sure their bassist slapped a Red Quiet sticker on my back without my permission or knowledge. I was bamboozled into looking silly, but [at] least I was far from alone." -- Barry Thompson, The Boston Phoenix
