The Quarantined is a grunge/punk/metal project led by Sean Martin that combines aggressive music with socially critical lyrics addressing politics, trauma, addiction, and modern life. The band formed through college and early radio play in 2010–2013 and built momentum with live shows in Southern California. Their single Point the Finger earned an international nomination in 2015, and later releases like Antiquate Hate brought wider attention and radio play. In 2021, Sean expanded the project with solo work and successful crowdfunding, leading to new music including Bedroom Inc. and the 2025 album Aversion to Normalcy now over 600k streams on Spotify. Martin’s background—Musicians Institute training and service as a U.S. Army Airborne Infantryman—deeply influences the band’s message and advocacy for veterans’ mental health. The Quarantined continues to release purposeful music as an independent force in modern rock.
