Quinine · Tune In
Quinine is a Sacramento, California shoegaze and noise-rock band formed in 2023, led by Taylor Kohl (guitar, vocals). The project pulls from early DIY 90s alternative into a heavy, melodic blend of shoegaze, alternative, post-punk, and noise rock. The lineup has included Zack Bissell, Cole Apperson, Jacob Waite, and Wyatt Cermak, with members also active in Meet Cute, Mastoids., and Dogs Barking. After a 2023 demo and a 2024 split with Welcome Strawberry, the band released the World Tattoo EP and the full-length First Ever Whippet On Acid in early 2025. They play Sacramento DIY rooms such as Phono Select Records.
