Born out of the raw energy of Treaty 7 Territory’s punk scene, Quit It! has carved out a reputation as a band that refuses to be ignored. Praised by Maximum Rocknroll as torchbearers of “socio-political anthemic punk,” the group fuses urgency, grit, and chaos into a sound that demands attention. Their music isn’t just a soundtrack—it’s a rallying cry. From basement shows to festival stages, Quit It! channels collective power into songs that fuel community, spark critical thought, and leave audiences forever changed.
