Little Quirks

Little Quirks are an Australian indie-folk ensemble hailing from the Central Coast of New South Wales. Formed in 2015, the band is a family affair, centered around sisters Abbey and Mia Toole and their cousin Jaymi Toole. This familial bond is the cornerstone of their sound, manifesting in highly intricate, intuitive vocal harmonies that serve as their primary sonic signature. Their evolution has seen them move from stripped-back acoustic beginnings to a more robust, 'big' folk-pop sound, particularly after the addition of Alex Toole on bass and Jordan Rouse on electric guitar.

Critically, they are often grouped with the 'stomp-and-holler' folk revivalists, yet they maintain a distinct identity through their use of the mandolin as a lead rhythmic instrument rather than just a texture. Their career arc is marked by a series of successful EPs, including 'Crumbled' and 'Call to Unknowns', which have garnered significant streaming numbers and festival slots. They occupy a cultural space similar to acts like Boy & Bear or The Waifs, representing a modern, high-energy continuation of the Australian folk tradition. Their production often emphasizes a 'live' feel, capturing the kinetic energy of their stage performances while maintaining a radio-ready sheen.
