"English by birth - Liverpudlian by the grace of God. 

​

Often likened to David Bowie's more recent material, the songs tell stories of debauchery, disillusionment, heartbreak and hope.

​

Quadrio fits into the line of classic British songwriters, particularly those who operated in the late '70s and early '80s, with inventive alt-pop tracks like 'Everyone's A Criminal' being on a par with the likes of Green Gartside or Chris Difford. There are slower numbers which strip things back a little and display the quality of the songwriting that bit more, and with stuff of the calibre of the fabulously Bowie-esque 'Geldof', it's hard to argue that this is a man who should be held in high regard."
