Two sets of brothers, four sets of cousins playing pop/rock from when the genres meant something. Their newest album "Self-Defense" is on iTunes now. Reviews for "Self-Defense" "The trifecta is complete! Self-Defense is the third and final instalment in a series of stellar EPs from pop/rock purveyors Quinzy - and it's easily the best. Like its predecessors, Self-Defense boasts breathtaking melodies, meaty hooks and soaring, singalong choruses, but this collection of songs is the band's tightest and most realized yet. The arrangements are denser (see: the swaggering piano-driven romp I Dream in Exponents), the harmonies are more challenging (album closer Ode to Norman Borlaug is downright cinematic), and the hooks are, well, hookier. On the whole, Self-Defense is one hell of a dynamic and charismatic album. A+" — Jen Zoratti (Uptown Magazine)
