   About The Quiet Ones
QUIET ONES LOVE YOU BETTER

The Quiet Ones on ALL MUSIC GUIDE

"It's difficult, nay, impossible not to think that some of the Quiet Ones' songs are really long lost and unpolished first takes from Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot recording sessions—gems that were maybe beloved by Jeff Tweedy, but with their slightly noisier spine didn't completely fit in with the gentle flow of the highly revered record. Singer John Totten carefully delivers his words with the same mix of worn-down heartbreak and singing-will-save-me optimism that one can hear in Tweedy's voice, and their bright and slightly distorted indie rock by way of catchy pop sounds like it was created with as much care as any months-long visit in the studio, but the punk rock side of them won out in the end, causing them to bare their hearts in the less-than-perfect basement instead." The Stranger


The Quiet Ones are proud to announce the arrival of their new album, Better Walk Than Ride Like That, available at Seattle area record stores or at shows. For more information on the band visit

Hello!
Yes i read that too, its crazy. I have been trying to fight them off, due to the fact my knife is a little better, but theres just too many white women with pocket knives. Its just too much work to do by myself...

i would call you guys, but i think i lost the number... we've had such a bad time since we left missoula. flat tire nearly as soon as we left, we got in an accident just yesterday here in seattle.

you didn't put some freaky curse on us did you?

well anyways, hopefully you still have my number... then perhaps we can all hang out while we're here.

Tried to pick up the record at Queen Anne Easy Street. No dice. Bummer. Been waiting a long time while Erin bragged about already having it.
