Quaint AF began as a rowdy, carefree alt-rock cover band, cutting their teeth in Southern Maine’s bar scene with a “no rules” ethos. Over the years—and through countless gigs, tribute shows, and a pandemic hiatus—they’ve carved out a niche in the post-pop-punk emo realm. Their latest EP, The Bold Coast, captures this evolution, blending their punk roots with bursts of jam, funk, and a refreshing lightness that keeps the party alive.

 

At just under fifteen minutes, The Bold Coast is short but potent, packing a lot into its runtime. Quaint AF shows their ability to balance punk foundations with adventurous detours into other genres, creating songs that feel dynamic and alive. The EP never strays too far from its roots, and that restraint makes the experimentation feel all the more satisfying. A bold and thrilling release from a band that knows how to make every second count.
