QTY — Where to Listen on the Radio

QTY is an American indie rock band from New York City, signed to Dirty Hit Records. The group originally consisted of singers and guitarists Dan Lardner and Alex Niemetz, as well as bassist Peter Baumann and drummer Julian Harmon.

The band recorded their debut album in London, with production by former Suede member Bernard Butler. The self-titled album was released in December 2017 to early critical acclaim, including favorable reviews in such publications as the NME. The group also earned a spot on the NME 100: 2018 Best New Bands List.

The group described its sound as "guitar-driven lyrical rock music with pop sensibilities," and was often placed in the lineage of New York rock bands such as The Velvet Underground, Television, and The Strokes, based on the guitar-based sound and Lardner's New York-style laconic vocal delivery. However, their influences stretched beyond their hometown, including glam rock-era acts, especially David Bowie, as well as 1990s lo-fi indie rock bands such as Royal Trux and Silver Jews. Lyrics played a key part in the band's appeal, where Lardner's writing often lauded for its observant, introspective reflections on the struggles of the band's everyday lives.
