Quest for Quintana Roo had this rad unhinged-but-controlled style which really caught my attention. To my teenaged ears they sounded something like hardcore played by drunk astronauts, and I adored their self-titled EP when it came out on New Disorder records. I probably saw them 8-10 times before they broke up.
In retrospect I guess QFQR falls fairly neatly in the "screamo" bin of the mid-to-late-90s. Still, even within the genre they had a unique sound, I think. I'd say it holds up pretty well.
Jackson from QFQR posted a complete discography for the band, which is available here:

I remember Chris Kohler telling me that he liked watching QFQR just to see how wide the singer could open his mouth. Strange, the things that stick with us...
