Inspired by Johnny Cash's writing, with two singles released "Step Off" and "Laughs on you", already have many concerts on their road and maybe an album on the way, which you'll have to wait to find out. Find out more about them in the interview we did with them.

How did the idea of forming the San Quentin come about?

 The idea of san quentin came about whilst trying hard to find something memorable. We oringinally was called the Gamblers (awful name haha). I was lying in my room trying to think of a name and looked up at my johnny cash picture on the wall.

 In the backround it had san quentin. so from then onwards we went with that name. In all honesty its quite fitting as i like the writing style of johnny cash and admire him as an artists.

How do you describe your music?

 Our music would be best decribed as alternative indie/rock. As the writer of the band (Liam Cass)I like to use observational writing styles and seek lots of ideas from watching situations unfold. 

What do you get inspiration from for your music?

As said before. in terms of writing songs I like the way johnny cash used to write songs about situations and scenarios. Also like there to be massive hooks in the songs to get the crowd singing along. Overall id say most musical inspiration comes from the early 2000's, but the writing is inspired by the likes of johnny cash.

Do you have any predictions for releasing your debut album?

 Not to give too much away but potentially expect an EP later this year. We have loads of songs written so just trying to fit the most suitable into an EP could be hard. The ep will have a defiant sound and story behind it.
