Portland's Indie Alt-Rock Showcase

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.

Still Golden is an alternative rock band based in Portland, Oregon. Pulling from various influences across the Pop-Punk and Post-Emo spectrums, the band brings a youthful energy and optimism to themes grounded in emotional turmoil and the pains of growing up in the modern world. Founding members Joel Koehler and Jake Bassen released debut single “Deciduous” in April of 2023 and four track EP “Silver Linings” in August 2023. The now four-piece outfit, adding bassist Isaac Williams and drummer Travis Owens, released their follow-up single “You’ll Never Understand” on December 6, 2023.
