    • ]]>     http://quartershade.com/2009/12/twitter-weekly-updates-for-2009-12-20/feed/     New single ‘Statues’ out now! http://quartershade.com/2009/12/new-single-statues-out-now/ http://quartershade.com/2009/12/new-single-statues-out-now/#comments Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:25:27 +0000 matt http://quartershade.com/?p=173 Our new single Statues is out today, and can be downloaded from Spotify and iTunes (just search for Quartershade, we’re the only one…).

    Some people in the press kindly reviewed it. Here’s a selection:

    “‘Statues’ is a breathless torrent of bubbling musical exhuberance. Quartershade sure know how to write a tune and they sure know how to execute it.” - Tasty Fanzine

    “…a much welcomed surging shot of speaker spanking brittle and blistering pop” - The Sunday Experience

    “Bright indie pop with a surging hook and some fine harmonies to boot… ” - Subba Cultcha

    “Uplifting, maybe a little obvious in places, but inspired all the same, Quartershade seem to be embracing accessibility without sacrificing originality.” - Manchester Music

    We hope you like it. We’re all done now for 2009 but we’ll be back in the new year with some more singles and our debut album. Exciting stuff!

    Love QS

The Spotify link is this. You can find us on iTunes by searching for Quartershade.

    To keep ourselves busy while we add the finishing touches to next-year’s album we’re putting out one more single before Xmas. It’s called ‘Statues’ and it will be available again from Spotify and iTunes on the 14th December.  Neither Lights Out nor Statues will be on the album so get them while you can!

    Take a listen and let us know what you think.  And if you like it, tell your friends!

    • ]]>     http://quartershade.com/2009/10/twitter-weekly-updates-for-2009-10-25/feed/     ‘Lights Out’ released on Monday! http://quartershade.com/2009/10/lights-out-released-on-monday/ http://quartershade.com/2009/10/lights-out-released-on-monday/#comments Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:34:22 +0000 matt http://quartershade.com/2009/10/lights-out-released-on-monday/ ‘Lights Out’, our first single in quite some time is released on Monday. Subba Cultcha describe it as “Anthemic Indie rock with bags of attitude and the sort of chorus that you could throw blow up balls around a stadium to”. You’ll be able to find it on itunes (if you’re paying) and Spotify (if you’re not).

    To celebrate we’re heading back into the studio for another long weekend in the company of Paul Tipler, a Fussball table, and hopefully a curry.

    Rock on.
