Quota is the first official extended play by the Christian pop punk band Eleventyseven.

The EP was released digitally via the iTunes store and Amazon.com on April 29, 2011. However, it has since been pulled from purchase. It was also released in a physical format but is no longer in print. Later the same year, on October 26, the band released Sugarfist, their fourth full-length album that included five of the six songs from the EP . The Japanese edition of Sugarfist featured all six songs from Quota.

Reception

The EP received positive reviews overall. Many noted that Eleventyseven was becoming very comfortable with their sound, describing the release as "solid"[1] with a "surprisingly high amount of replay value".[3]
