HOT QUANG
“HOT QUANG! is a power trio newly formed from the ashes of kings. Sometimes blisteringly melodic and other times confidently fucking you in the odd time fat cake without remorse. With comparisons from Swervedriver to the Pixies and influences like Shiner, Shudder To Think and Jeff Buckley, the whaling guitar of John Sparkman(Quarry To The War, Buttcracker PDX), the low end mastery of Mikey Lochen(Don’t Tell Sarah, Eve Thing) and driving rhythms from Aaron Ochsner(The History Of, The Jazz Pill) are certain to at least deafen an ear or two. A drunken bastard baby at 6 months old, HOT QUANG! has written over 40 songs and is always working on more,”
