Quartz

Emerging Electronic Music Duo

Quartz is a British heavy metal band that formed in the late 1970s. They are known for being part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement, which included bands like Iron Maiden and Def Leppard that rose to prominence during this time. Quartz originally went by the name Bandy Legs but changed their name prior to the release of their self-titled debut album in 1977. The band's music is characterized by its hard rock and heavy metal sound, and they have been acknowledged for their influence on the genre, despite not achieving the same level of commercial success as some of their contemporaries. Throughout their career, Quartz has experienced several lineup changes and periods of inactivity. They have released multiple albums and have maintained a cult following within the heavy metal community.
