Backstory:
Busy Quartz formed in the vibrant music scene of Austin, Texas, back in 2014, inspired by the city’s eclectic mix of sounds and styles. The band members – frontman Jax Briggs, guitarist Max Weston, bassist Vera Lopez, and drummer Lee Kim, were initially part of different local bands. However, after an impromptu jamming session in a local dive bar one night, the four musicians recognized a unique and powerful chemistry that they couldn’t ignore. They decided to band together, and thus, Busy Quartz was born. The band’s name was inspired by the quartz crystal, a symbol of clarity, energy, and harmony – elements which they strive to bring to their music.

Wake up, it’s another dawn,

To the rhythm of the stone.

Through the echoes, in the neon light,

To the rhythm of the stone.

Riding on the rhythm, our own.
