QUALITY USED CARS
Built around the idiosyncratic songwriting and warbling vocals of Francis Tait, and brought to life by a band of hard-working familiar faces from within Narrm/ Melbourne’s bubbling underground music communities, Quality Used Cars put full focus on Francis’ charismatic storytelling, over a backdrop that blends sunny Australiana with alt-country tenderness and scrappy garage-pop smarts.
Since getting started in 2020, “the Cars” have released two albums — 2021’s Good Days/Bad Days and Quality Of Life in 2023 — and performed constantly around Victoria and along Australia’s East Coast. They have also made appearances at Boogie 15, Town Folk Fest, Wonder Mountain and Backyard Fest and opened for the likes of MJ Lenderman, Carla Geneve and Watty Thompson.
Now preparing for the release of their third album in five years, Quality Used Cars have become favourites of the Narrm underground, finding themselves equally at home amongst garage rock, alt-country and punk line ups.
