QTY is an American indie rock band from New York City signed to Dirty Hit Records. The group consists of singers and guitarists Dan Lardner and Alex Niemetz as well as bassist Peter Baumann and drummer Alan Yuch.
The band recorded their debut album in London, produced 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 describes its sound as "guitar-driven lyrical rock music with pop sensibilities," and is 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 stretch beyond their hometown, including glam rock-era acts, especially David Bowie, as well as 1990s lo-fi indie rock icons such as Royal Trux and Silver Jews. Lyrics play a key part of the band's appeal, where Lardner's lyrics are often lauded for his observant, introspective nature about the struggle of the band's everyday lives.
