'This is a very forceful, polemical piece of pop music from Alt Track.' Steve Lamacq
'This teenage genre-bastardising pair are both political and danceable, just like Chumbawamba aren't.' NME
'They've come up with an intricate D'N'B, trip-rock album with a conscience. If Bob Dylan and Slash went raving together, this is how the night would unfold.' The Fly
'There aren't many unsigned bands that show this amount of direction and promise.' God Is In The TV
'This album has smashed all expectations - 9/10' Beep Fanzine
'There’s a hard-hitting, uncompromising but astute attitude throughout, fuelled by their quick fire raps and squashed, spine tingling semi-distorted synth set pieces.' Music Dash
'Alt Track are clearly far too clever and talented for their own good.' Hyde Park Heat Fanzine
'Alt Track are from Bradford' BBC Radio Humberside
'Silence Is Approval is not aware of any limit' Puerto Rican Radio
'Their experimentalism will leave you feeling glad to be alive...' dontstayin.com
'They're easily my favourite wild West Yorkshire band.' The Fly
'Political maximalism' Mono
'Exciting times are set to be ahead for them.' God Is In The TV
'Exciting, unconventional, experimental and unique.' - thismusicwins.blogspot.com
'A furious splurge of flailing energy' themusicguruonline.co.uk
'I recently found out that one of them threw a pen at lil' chris when the opportunity presented itself, for no reason other than a feeling he had to do something. So, for that heroism, as well as their winning Muse-go-drum-n-bass combination, they're my number one.' thetelegraph.co.uk
'They are not scared to experiment and stand alone.' Beep Fanzine
'This young but experienced two-piece have been harbouring subtle genius the whole time.' Vibrations Magazine
'This band are mint.' - God
'These guys are the real Godfathers of Soul! Alright!' - James Brown
Since their inception in 2007, Alt Track have cultivated a
sound as unique as it is eclectic, mixing the rhythms of
contemporary dance music with the energy and conscience of
punk rock. From explosive but poetic bursts of politically
charged electronica, to ambient IDM-laden soundscapes, Alt
Track constantly seek to fuse their influences and cover a
previously unexplored musical direction.
Informed equally by records such as Refused's 'The Shape Of
Punk To Come', Bob Marley's 'Exodus', Radiohead's 'Kid A' and Massive Attack's
'Mezzanine', Alt Track use dance beats as the canvas for their
musical landscapes, building a multitude of different textures
and ideas within a track. Truly a band best appreciated live,
rather than opting to hide behind laptops, you'll find them on
the gig floor; with an energy more closely associated with a
punk band. The band keep a busy live schedule, regularly
playing all over the UK to rave reviews from the likes of NME
and The Fly Magazine, equally at home in a rock club or a
squat party, electronic or as their acoustic alter-ego in a
cafe, or on the street busking for some extra petrol money.
2009 saw the release of their self produced, self funded debut
album 'Silence is Approval' which has recieved numerous
glowing reviews. Radio One's Steve Lamacq called the opening
track '...a very forceful, polemical piece of pop music', and The
Fly described the record as '...an intricate D'N'B, trip-rock
album with a conscience. If Bob Dylan and Slash went raving
together, this is how the night would unfold'. Alt Track allow
fans to pay what they like for the record, in order to reach
as wide an audience as possible uninhibited by economics.

Take some acid, free the mind. go to spain, get a tan, take a week, talk to a pizza.
If silence is approval, then music is not. They used to fear revolution, punk rock and hip-hop. Now i just hear their world, the sports cars the hot girls The cut throat attitude And the conservative face of pop.
