The music of Seattle-based pop-punk trio Quickie (singer/bassist Louis Torres, guitarist Joe Wolf, and drummer Ric Hare) recalls such past trash rockers as Mötley Crüe and the Dead Boys, among others. Torres didn't pick up a guitar until ninth grade when his father insisted he do so and after catching a Cheap Trick concert. Eventually, Torres formed Quickie along with his two comrades, resulting in a recording contract with the Music Blitz label, and their 2000 debut disc, Dropping the Why. A number of the album's songs cropped up elsewhere, including the sports videos #Board Wild, #Core Culture, and #Extreme 16, as well as the TV shows #Felicity and #American High, the movie (and its subsequent soundtrack) #Our Lips Are Sealed, and the compilation Wayne Kramer Presents Beyond Cyberpunk. Torres sums up Quickie's approach perfectly with the quote, "We're just three sloppy guys having a good time." ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
