The Get Quick

The Get Quick is a musical combo based in Philadelphia.

Their approach has been described as “sounding something like a cross between garage bands of the 1980s and modern twenty-first century pop.”[1] With songs “wrapped in a fizzy soda pop sheen.”[2]

AllMusic said "Philadelphia's garage-glammers the Get Quick recreate the muddy sparkle, fuzzy basses, machine-gun guitars, and cracked tunesmithery of the Nuggets bands, updated with the knowing wink of Urge Overkill or Sloan."[3]

Their albums How The Story Goes[4] and See You In The Crossfire[5] were released in 2005 and 2007 respectively by New York City based Rainbow Quartz International.[6] With Stewart Mason[7] writing "Every song on How the Story Goes is a winner, and the album as a whole is one of the most entertaining underground pop releases of 2005."[8] Popmatters summed up its review of Crossfire with "It’s a strut and a shimmy and a wink of the eye all at the once, and if you don’t feel it on some level, you’ve forgotten how to love rock and roll."[9]

In 2025 various selections from their back catalogue became available on multiple streaming services.
