about +
The Quit is an Indie rock band based out of Seattle, Washington. Early incarnations of the band began in 2004, but the current lineup has been together since 2005. The Quit consists of Scott Shoemaker (Vocals, Keyboard, Guitar), Nash McBride (Lead Guitar), Chris Borgia (Bass), and Charles Pinnell (Drums).

On May 6th 2008, The Quit released their first full-length album titled 'Minus Tide'. Teaming with Engineer/Producer Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective), the album was recorded at Gravel Voice Studios, a 100 year old church converted into Colburn's home studio.

The album was kindly received with rotation airplay on Seattle radio stations KEXP and KNDD as well as KAOS in Olympia. In the June '08 issue of Seattle Sound Magazine, 'Minus Tide' received 4 out of 5 stars and the song 'Faster' was selected as the Single of the Month. Last year, the Quit performed at Seattle Weekly's Reverb Festival and in this past summer they played the Georgetown Music Festival.

The Quit will release their second full length album titled 'Stars Invisible By Day' on August 6th. The album was recorded by Graig Markel (Head Like a Kite, Transmissionary Six, Animals at Night) at Recovery Room Studios.
