Biography :

Members of The Quills were Rick Berry, Fred Cox, Otis Freeman, Gus Rainey, & Tim Speed. The group started singing in their early teens. After a few years they got quite good t it became the first group in Chester to start using dance choreography in their act. They sang live on the two most popular radio stations in Philadelphia. and although they sang Rhythm and Blues, or Rock and Roll as some people called it, they also sang in church on one occasion.

They even sang at the Apollo Theatre in New York city on the Famous Wednesday night talent show. They also happened to make their first professional recording in New York City. The record never made any money for them, but the Quills had fun doing and promoting it. About two years later, the band will record two new songs, this time in Philadelphia. "You Think You're Cute" and "I Want To Know" will be released under the strange name of Incinerators on the Sound-Dex label.
