Quarterflash is a pop-rock group formed in Portland, Oregon in 1980. The band was made up of lead singer and saxophonist Rindy Ross, her husband guitarist Marv Ross, guitarist Jack Charles, keyboardist Rick DiGiallonardo, bassist Rich Gooch and drummer Brian David Willis. Their original name was Seafood Mama.
The band signed to Geffen Records and released their self-titled debut album, Quarterflash, in 1981. The album was a success and scored their biggest hits with “Harden My Heart”, which hit #3 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, and “Find Another Fool”, which hit #16.
Quarterflash released their second album, Take Another Picture, in 1983 and scored with a minor hit “Take Me to Heart”, which hit #14. This album didn’t have as much commercial success as their first album.
The group released their final album Back Into Blue in 1985 and they later disbanded after getting dropped from Geffen Records.
Five years later in 1990 Quarterflash reunited, hiring studio savvy musicians Sandin Wilson, bass/vocals, Greg Williams, drums, Doug Fraser, explosive guitars, and Mel Kubik on sax and keys and released Girl In the Wind on Epic Records. Rindy and Marv Ross are now part of a popular band in the region called The Oregon Trail Band.

The wild blend of Guitar, Sax and Rindy's voice has made this band one of the most mesmerizing bands for me that are still just as good to listen to today...

I remember Quarter Flash from when I was stationed in San Diego in the 80's. I thought it was interesting that Rindy Ross was so - well - struck me as a Karen Carpenter with all the talent of singing and musical instruments that she played. Too - that the inital name of their band (Seafood Mama) may have set them back - changing to Quarter Flash earlier might have helped them get started earlier - LOL...
