Background

While in elementary school in New York City, Ben Acker and Jasper Harris would play rock music together under the name Concrete Jungle. In eighth grade, Ben Roter and Attila Anrather also joined, forming the quartet. All four members cite influence from their respective fathers, who were also musicians.
They spent their high school years at Beacon High School teaching themselves how to record, releasing a self-titled debut EP that they tracked in the school’s basement and uploaded to Bandcamp.
In 2017, the four decided to form Quarters, and began to write and record songs together.
The band has supported other acts such as Jonas Brothers, Bad Suns, Two Door Cinema Club, The Band Camino, and Joywave.
In 2025, the band changed their name from Quarters of Change to Quarters.

Musical style

Quarters' musical style has been described as indie rock, pop rock, and alternative rock. They have also been described as, "Anchored by a mutual predisposition for unpredictability, Quarters fuse together a signature hybrid of nineties-style alternative hooks, crunchy space rock soundscapes, and strutting seventies grooves."
The band cites influences such as The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, MGMT, Tom Petty, and Daft Punk.
Artists such as Joe Jonas, Lewis Capaldi, Chad Smith, and Fred Durst have notably become fans of the band.
