Quimby is a prominent Hungarian alternative rock band that has been a defining force in the country's music scene since their formation in 1991. Characterized by their poetic lyrics, distinct and dynamic musical style that often blends rock with elements of jazz, blues, and Hungarian folk music, Quimby has solidified their status as one of the mainstays of modern Hungarian rock. They are often noted for their energetic live performances and thought-provoking lyrical content, often exploring themes of love, freedom, and existential musings.

The band's lineup has seen a few changes over the years but has always revolved around the core members: lead vocalist and frontman Tibor Kiss, who is also one of the main songwriters, and bass guitarist Livius Varga, who often contributes as a co-writer. Over their career, which spans more than three decades, Quimby has produced a substantial discography that includes studio albums, live recordings, and singles. Their recent releases such as "Plusz-mínusz (Live)", "Árnyék A Szoba Falán", and "Tükrök Olcsón" showcase their commitment to artistic evolution while maintaining the distinct sound that has earned them a dedicated fan base in Hungary and beyond. With "Forradalom", Quimby continues to engage with their audiences, showing that their music remains as relevant and provocative as ever.
