03.03.2010 - The Independent's 5 Best Gigs
"The much-touted young Bristol-based guitar wizard and songwriter, who has been compared to Richard Thompson, Al Stewart and early Fleetwood Mac, travels in possession of a mean harmonica style and a rapid-fire, Spanish-influenced guitar-picking technique."
03.03.2010 - James Hollingsworth wows the POW!
"This guy, who writes and performs all his own stuff, brought all his own equipment with him, making it look like he was setting up to play at Wembley. But this painstaking attention to detail definitely paid off as the sound emanating from this man's guitar was crystal clear even above the usual hubbub of friendly banter that emanated from the pu...

20.08.2009 - Review of TWISTED - Goyaale
Twisted are a hard-rock band with a wall-of-noise approach to guitars and a vocal that's got gruff melodic appeal. 'Goyaale' is a heavy-hitter with super-substantial bass and a powerful riff. There's a distinctive switch from alternative verse to anthemic chorus that gives Twisted that added appeal, in a similar way to The Guano Apes, who thro...
12.04.2009 - 'For The Family' Review - Toxicpete.co.uk
Church & Destroy are an acoustic duo from Herefordshire; I suppose they're in the same kinda place as Billy Bragg, y'know, that rugged, working-class British folk kinda thing - all brutal honesty and take no prisoners folk! Of the seven tracks offered here five are Church & Destroy originals and the boys have included two covers for good mea...

"A couple of days later I popped up to check out probably the best stage and sound system in Worcestershire at the Tardebigge in Redditch. What used to be Volume One are now Unkle Monty and it's hard not to think of James Dean Bradfield when the frontman pitches his curveball notes at you. There's plenty of variety, though, and a searing bassline f...

"I last saw Unkle Monty at the excellent Bigge Venue at The Tardebigge in Redditch a few months ago, and I've got to say that if you're up for a heavy-bluesy night out with more original riffs than I've counted for many-a-moon, then the ex-Volume One-ers won't let you down. A solid blend of Free-ish and Ted Nugent mainstream that's foot-tappingly f...
