Quiet Company, is a Piano Rock band hailing from Austin, Texas. It is led by Taylor Glen Muse. Their first album Shine honesty was released by Northern Records and is distributed in the United States and Canada by RED Distribution (Sony BMG).

Biography

Muse was on the leading lines of The East Texas Indie Music boom with his bands Uncle Andrew and Neckpunch. He also lended a helping hand to create songs on Eisley's debut for Warner Bros. Records, as well as giving them their first name. He parted ways from the family formed group after playing Bass guitar in Live shows, in order to focus on other projects. Taylor played Drums and guitar in early incarnations of The Lonely Hearts ,a.k.a. Holland, a.k.a. Somerset but opted not to make the trek away from East Texas to join them in Nashville Tn, where they are based to this day. He recorded several tracks under the Moniker Quiet Company that he released Independently, while playing with his band The Connotations. He also lent the track, Music For The Masses (When The Masses Have Mullets) to Jeff Cloud's label Velvet Blue's Scene But Not Herd volume 3 compilation, Catalog #VBM 053 as an unsigned artist.

hine Honesty

Several of the tracks on Quiet Company's debut album Shine honesty were arranged and composed while Muse was fronting The Connotations. After some soul searching, the band decided to part ways after their only official release, Trouble by The Truckloads from Mono Vs Stereo's The Revolution Will Begin In The Blink Of An Eye compilation. Muse took a handful of the songs that they had demoed and recorded Shine honesty with Alex Bhore in May 2005. He now had a record, and starting auditioning band mates to play his tunes.

Muse self packaged cd-r copies with black & white covers and began to pass them around amongst friends, and selling them at shows in Texas. Northern Records heard the unmastered version and invited Taylor Muse and Quiet Company to find a home with them. Andy Prickett lended his own brand of expertise in the Mixing and Mastering of the album and in March 23, 2006 Northern Records released Shine Honesty.

In October 2007 they completed their first music video for the song Fashionabel (Music Video), from Shine Honesty. The Video was shot in Nashville, Tennessee by New Valiant Productions and directed by American film maker Cameron McCasland. The video was released to youtube on October 30, 2007 and outlinked new videos from Paul McCartney, Daft Punk, Yellowcard, and Korn. The video was picked up by MTV.ca and is currently playing in rotation and on demand.
