"10acre are one of the best acts around"
Johnny Marr (being interviewed by Jo Whiley on Radio 1), guitarist, The Smiths
"From Joy Division to the sculptural rock of 10acre ? they bend guitar
chords into a seeming infinity, with drums that make LED zeppelin sound
like the Smurfs."
Michael Bracewell, The Guardian Review.
