In eighth grade, Ben Roter and Attila Anrather also joined, forming the current quartet. All four members cite influence from their respective fathers, who were also musicians.

In 2017, the four decided to form Quarters of Change, and began to write and record songs together.

Musical style

Quarters of Change's musical style has been described as indie rock, pop rock, and alternative rock.[13] [14] [15] [16] [17] They have also been described as, "Anchored by a mutual predisposition for unpredictability, Quarters of Change fuse together a signature hybrid of nineties-style alternative hooks, crunchy space rock soundscapes, and strutting seventies grooves."

The band cites influences such as The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, MGMT, Tom Petty, and Daft Punk.[18] [19]

Artists such as Joe Jonas, Lewis Capaldi, Chad Smith, and Fred Durst have notably become fans of the band.[20]
