brody & quint's intimately scored melodies balance guitar, cello and vocal harmonies in a collection of wistful and engaging original songs, with a style which has been compared to the English folk/chamber pop tradition of iconic artists such as Nick Drake and Vashti Bunyan, as well as modern alt.folk groups such as James Yorkston and the Athletes. With music ranging from the poignant to the uplifting, the group capture how a moments reflection can bring beauty to darkness.
While performing in the bands The Peaches and Cuzco, Rosemary Harrison and Mark Barlow collaborated for the first time in 2003 on the song Live Now which received positive press and online reviews. They subsequently formed brody & quint to work together on acoustic music, joined shortly afterwards by Anna Brickles on cello. Debuting that summer at the 12 Bar Club in London, brody & quint were offered a spot on Nomad AM Records Compilation One by the end of the year for the song Spinning Drum. In 2004, the group secured national airplay on the Student Broadcast Network, and a live session on Londons Sound Radio, while playing 38 gigs through the year at venues including The Troubadour music club and the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London. In the summer the group were invited to play in Coventry at The Belgrade Theatre, in the 'summer sessions' festival organised by award-winning local creative collective Attenshun, in association with Fierce Panda records. Additionally, brody & quint played at the Chill on the Hill and Finfest festivals in London that summer.
Last year the group continued gigging extensively, playing at reputable London venues such as The Borderline and The Barfly, as well as being invited to take part in the Buzz Night new talent showcase at Bush Hall. In 2006 brody & quint were invited to play at Kingston Green Fair, the UKs largest one-day green event with an attendance of 15,000. In May the group issued their debut EP, Green Field, from which the song Summer Sun was selected as a featured track on the BBC collective music site. The group also embarked on two tours, playing at venues in Manchester, Sheffield, Bolton, Leeds and London, as well as a live session for Russell Walker on BBC Radio Leeds.
