Quaid's New Shoes

This New York-based Progressive Rock group originally started out as a ska band drawing influence from popular bands such as Reel Big Fish. In the last few years, however, they have developed into more of a creative rock band with horns. While punk influence (i.e 311, RX Bandits, Reel Big Fish, Sublime) can still be heard in their tunes, Quaid's New Shoes has, since then, drawn influence primarily from bands like Radiohead, Queen, Muse, Sigur Ros, Abandonned Pools, etc.
