From day one, Reading four-piece The Quotes have attracted media attention, and their constant gigging and prestigious festival appearances – not to mention album and EP releases – have earned them a well-established fan base. Their epic, sexy and polished rock sound has caught the inspiration of many a radio DJ, promoter and – most importantly – music fan.

2009 began with a string of European dates and has seen the band play support slots for Hockey, The Charlatans and Goldie Lookin’ Chain as well as at five major festivals in the South East. Consistent coverage in the local press as well as considerable air time and radio appearances thanks to BBC Berkshire, BBC London and BBC 6, and KROQ in California have helped raise The Quotes’ profile over the last year, and with professional representation and an eager street team the only way is up.

The band’s ferocious sound and slick execution defies their years. In July 2009, at the centre of a storm of curiosity, excitement and anticipation, The Quotes released The Monte Rosa EP with two sold-out nights at one of their hometown’s best established music venues. An enormous achievement for an unsigned band but yet another great credit to these four vastly talented young musicians.

The buzz around The Quotes is quickly spreading in London, so look out for them playing both headline and support slots in some of London’s most popular music venues.

The band are currently in the studio recording some new tracks, and are looking forward to a stellar 2010!"
