The Story
The Three O'Clock is an American alternative rock band that emerged from the L.A. music scene, making waves in the 1980s with their jangly, melodic sound. Fronted by Michael Quercio, who also plays bass, the band is closely linked to the Paisley Underground movement—a label Quercio himself coined. Their music blends catchy hooks with a touch of psychedelic flair, evident in tracks like "Jet Fighter." Along with contemporaries like the Bangles and the Dream Syndicate, The Three O'Clock helped shape a distinctive style that combined influences from the 1960s with the energy of punk and new wave. Their contribution to the alternative rock genre is both notable and enduring.
