The Quality rose from the ashes of earlier Portland bands that perished in the heat of rock music’s flame. Tempered by the raw power of fire, The Quality came out harder, hotter, and sexier than ever with a new edge that cuts through the kevlar of complacency and dumps acid on the status quo. Blending riotous noises of their youth heroes with modern sonic soundscapes, The Quality produce music that tips a hat to past legends such as Iggy Pop, Pixies, and Nirvana, with an added twist of the new millennium and all the chaos of today’s increasingly trembling world. Slashing guitars, crashing drums, bone shaking bass, and soul piercing synths coalesce in an orchestral cacophony, carrying howling vocals that explore the dregs of civilization and the characters in it, scratching tooth and nail to propel out of the darkness and emerge stronger than ever to rage against the society that threw them into the pits of decay. Rock music has a rich history of showcasing and elevating the outcasts of the world; The Quality keep this tradition alive one song and one show at a time.
