best industry quotes

  1. Their sound is anthemic, melody driven Indie-Rock that draws influence from both British and American contemporary sources. Having written some excellent material with strong, catchy choruses and intelligent lyrics the band has found a direction that really works for them and shows some real potential. Live they were tight yet relaxed throughout an impressive performance that set a high standard for the other acts to follow.
  2. WITH Space And Time marking this debut for this Nottingham quartet, it is a firm stride towards recognition that this band certainly deserve, having been together only a mere twelve months, this four piece are already generating excitement. Straying towards a much more commercial rock sound The Envious Few is a delicious opener with driving guitars and enjoyable melodies to boot. Sounding similar to the Smashing Pumpkins in their Siamese Dream era, Calling For Heroes have a sound which is captivating and at the same time distinctive. Acoustic led Space And Time, sounds monumental and certainly makes this EP memorable. With each track presented with dedication and passion, this impressive EP is a demonstration of a band on the up.
