“The Damn Quails have one of the finest freshman collections I’ve heard all year. It is titled DOWN THE HATCH. The debut single is out now, and the rest of the disc drops on Oct. 25. Brand new band. Brand new label. Brand new sound. The core of the group is a pair of singer-songwriters, Gabriel Marshall and Bryon White. Give those boys a DisCovery Award.” -Robert K. Oermann/Music Row Magazine
THE DAMN QUAILS/”Fools Gold”
“Refreshing, with a splash of harmonica, a dash of dobro, an acoustic-guitar solo, lightly crunchy rhythm and jaunty, folkie vocals. Oklahoma strikes again.” -Robert Oermann/Music Row Magazine
“The Damn Quails sound like nothing or nobody that you have heard in a while. This act and their music will no doubt affect you with their harmony, their lyrics, and their performance throughout this disc. One thing that is very apparent upon even the first listen is how great their writing skills are. Any of the fourteen cuts here would qualify as a major artistic statement.” -Chuck Dauphin/Billboard &Music News Nashville
“In a sea of talented bands, The Damn Quails ride a wave to the top through top notch songwriting and vocals on “Down The Hatch.” It took me only one listen to this record to fall in love with these newcomers. The album features top-notch songwriting, melodies and production. It’s always exciting to be on the forefront of something big and let me tell you, it only took one listen of “Down The Hatch” to feel excited like that about The Damn Quails.” -Matt Bjorke/Roughstock.com
