The band recently captivated audiences on the MAIN STAGE at New York City’s iconic Gov Ball, drawing acclaim from New York Post, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum and more. Their performance included a special appearance from Al Bouchard of Blue Öyster Cult, creating an unforgettable New York City rock band collaboration. The first leg of the Portraits Tour (Part One) was met with enthusiasm, selling out multiple venues and garnering rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Publications such as Austin American Statesman, WCBN, and The Diamondback praised the band's dynamic stage presence. The Luna Collective noted, “Their joy and energy were palpable to all who witnessed their set.”
Since 2021, Quarters of Change have steadily climbed the ranks of New York City venues, performing at Rockwood Music Hall, Mercury Lounge, Bowery Ballroom, Irving Plaza, Webster Hall, and now Brooklyn Steel. Their annual homecoming show is a reminder of their growth and solidifies their status as a staple in New York City's alternative music scene.
Their sophomore LP, Portraits, was released in January and is available HERE via 300 Entertainment. The album arrived to widespread critical acclaim, with UPROXX declaring, “With electrifying chords and resounding guitars, Quarters Of Change is bringing rock music to a whole new generation." Local Wolves dubbed it their best work to date, leading New York's alt-rock resurgence. Silent Radio also praised the band's aggressively vulnerable storytelling, and Disaster Magazine hailed "Portraits" as an unparalleled sonic experience, exceeding all expectations.

ABOUT QUARTERS OF CHANGE
Anchored by a mutual predisposition for unpredictability, Quarters of Change fuse together a signature hybrid of nineties-style alternative hooks, crunchy space rock soundscapes, and strutting seventies grooves. After piling up millions of streams, selling out shows, and inciting critical applause, the New York City quartet — Ben Acker (guitar, bass, synths), Attila Anrather (drums), Jasper Harris (guitars, bass, synths), and Ben Roter (vocals, guitar).
Leaning on an unspoken musical language of their own, forged by years of cutting their teeth together, sneaking into shows they were once too young to play and practicing in the basement of their old high school, Quarters of Change very clearly have a lifelong bond that has created their own breed of alternative rock with stadium scope.
Initially gaining traction with a handful of independent EPs as the fan favorite “Kiwi” reeled in over 10 million streams, they continued to hone this signature style on their 2022 full-length debut, Into The Rift. Highlighted by fan-favorite tracks “T Love,” “Jaded,” and “Dead,” they made enamored notable fans out of Joe Jonas, Lewis Capaldi, Chad Smith, and Fred Durst, to name a few.
Quarters of Change simultaneously emerged as a live force, supporting Bad Suns and selling out their first-ever US headline tour. The Aquarian hailed them as “reviving alt rock,” and Sheesh professed, “Quarters of Change has mastered the New York rock resurgence in a way that is resonating with even the best of the best.” In 2023 the band made their SXSW debut, sold out a headline tour run that ended with a momentous performance at Austin City Limits, and began rolling out the singles from the newest body of work. Doubling down on amplifying the energy, and turning up the distortion, Quarters of Change have quietly emerged as a phenomenon, and maintain this momentum with the release of their new album Portraits, available everywhere now.
