Quarantine

post hardcore politico sex driven punk rock

About Me

Quarantine are a post-hardcore politico tech punk five piece from the southwest of England. Together now for eight years, the band has morphed from an erratic and drunken garage punk band (Unafraid to show the emotional side of their music) to an intently focused group of musicians that have absorbed all range of music from the last fifty years to create their inimitable sound. Drawing influences from the U.S hardcore scene, the independent UK punk scene and anywhere that progressive music is being melded; their favourite bands include The Doors, Strung Out, Good Riddance, Nirvana and Pink Floyd. Ben Russell, the bands drummer, has just completed producing their second album length demo; the band is now on the hunt for national distribution. More than confident that their sound is ready to be heard the country over, Quarantine are now beginning to take their carefully honed set on the road making new friends and fans on the way. Live they are a high-octane punk sex explosion, and a stimulus fuelled strain rock sound system.To book Quarantine; email [email protected] or ring Muirs on 07725259199.BTW: this guy kicks ass, he drives us around in his van and puts up with all our bizzare issues.

Influences: The Doors, Strung Out, Good Riddance, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, system of a down, refused. Oh, and cat stevens, he rules.==================================================our good friends and influences from our local scene ect reside in our top friends list. There are many bands we owe debt for our sound; but, there is one man that has been prolific and uncomprimising to the extent that we feel he needs a link in our 'inluences' bit; that man is MIKE BROMAGE. He has had many different visual projects which push boundries in a way I can only suppose you will assume as pretentious, and has had many, many musical guises- the finest of which is 'Peadophile Scout Master', whom you will find in our top list.This is the far end of his crass spectrum. This is FECAL BELCH- visit it you fools
Sounds Like: =================================================== Space Invaders:
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ===================================================Brilliant performance from five-man punk rockers Quarantine, ... Hard, fast and furious, they billed themselves the alternative choice and played an out of your skins set. a formidable tight unit, [that] are dominated and driven by awesome front man Muirhead. Quarantine were great. Bill Martin. Evening Herald. ===================================================I certainly wasnt disappointed as Quarantine rocked through a set that got everyone moving, providing some balls out rock n roll with a clever mix of punky music that got even the most reticent onlooker skanking away. One of the things that also impressed me about Quarantine was the way they managed to meld in some of their own political commentary, but without letting it take over from the music. Quarantine have definitely got this spot on. Ill be making sure I keep a close eye on what Quarantine are up to in the future as theyre a band with more than enough talent to take them wherever they want to go.===================================================But even the craziest front men cant prepare you for the maddness that is Chris Muirs of Quarantine. In a world that is all too obsessed with image, Chris I dont care what you think attitude is so refreshing. In fact, the whole of Quarantinesset is refreshing and add to that that its also original and brilliant.Kelly Kemp (Lead singer to NoComply) Revolution Rag.
