Joel Quartermain (born 19 January 1977[citation needed]) is an Australian guitarist, back-up singer, recording drummer and pianist of the band Eskimo Joe.

In 1989, he moved to Perth, Western Australia, where he attended Hollywood Senior High School.

[1] Quartermain started playing in bands from the age of 12, forming an outfit called Hollywood Boulevard, shifting from keyboards to guitar along the way.

Despite their modest popularity, Quartermain and Temperley were unhappy with the style of music being played by the band.

[2] Meanwhile, Temperley was jamming on a side project with former school friend Stuart MacLeod, who had co-written some of the songs for Freud's Pillow.
