This is not your ordinary string quartet.
This is not your ordinary rock band.

The Section Quartet is
The Loudest String Quartet on the Planet!

The Section Quartet challenges ideas about the role of strings in rock, pop and alternative music, and fundamental notions about what a rock band can be. TSQ doesn’t play classical music -- they only play rock & roll: by turns one of the most in-demand crews for both recording studio collaborations and electrifying live performances alongside music’s top artists and producers, and a bona fide rock band in their own right. This Los Angeles-based rock band-disguised-as-a-string-quartet has sold out shows from Dublin to New York to LA and conquered the Main Stage at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival…TWICE. Writing their own visionary arrangements of their favorite rock songs, ranging from classics by Led Zeppelin to Radiohead, and delivering high-powered live shows, The Section Quartet confirms that you don’t need a guitar to rock. Following their independently released 2004 and 2006 album and EP, respectively, TSQ takes it to a new level with Summer 2007’s FUZZBOX, their captivating debut album for Decca Records.

With FUZZBOX violinists Eric Gorfain and Daphne Chen, violist Leah Katz and cellist Richard Dodd have strikingly re-imagined tracks by Radiohead, the Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Postal Service, Failure, Soundgarden, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Muse.

Helmed primarily by celebrated producer/songwriter Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes, Christina Aguilera), FUZZBOX is a shining example of why The Section Quartet has become the string ensemble of choice for progressive underground artists, chart-topping rock bands, and even pop divas: their unique approach.

“We think of ourselves as a rock band that just happens to play classical instruments. We bring the rock & roll attitude to the table,” says Gorfain.

“Any song we choose to translate from its original form to string quartet needs certain elements to withstand the transition: a good melody, a really cool bass line and a solid groove are crucial—and a great guitar riff doesn’t hurt either! That’s why, for example, Radiohead works so well for us.”
