"Augustine are one of the most spine-tingling, wonderful bands on the Birmingham circuit at the minute... Unmissable."
Emma Lilley / The Fly
"A band to look out for are Augustine – they should have a hit with their very catchy synth-rock Emergency Song." Ciarán Ryan / bbc.co.uk
"They were my band of the night, and in my opinion a band that will be a household name in a year or so. That good! If you see them on a gig line up, go to this gig!" Tom Glibbery / Last.FM /
"The squat Flapper & Firkin is pretty packed tonight and the bill lives up to the anticipation. Augustine hit us with a chiming, swaggering fop-pop that has a close-shaved spikiness."
Jenny Gilroy / Skif

Live Reviews
The Dark Blue Boog-A-Loo
"If the world ended tomorrow & the land was sucked dry of life, man was no more & all plant life & shubbery had withered, one thing would be left, Augustine... Not knowing any of the songs wasn't a problem here in this tiny packed out venue, the atmosphere was electric, Augustine's music has the clarity & punch that could turn any head. And It did. As the band finished their set & people rubbed their ringing ears, you could feel a sense that everyone there had witnessed something inspirational."

"Augustine, however, are something else. They take to the stage as the embodiment of quiet confidence, imbuing the atmosphere with a sense of calm and reverence, then proceeding to flay it alive like a vengeful Apollo. They have an amazingly tight, professional sound - so precise, and so fluent it's enough to bring tears to your eyes. I've never seen anything like this at the Flapper. Snake-hipped and silken-voiced Jody on vocals/synth sends a good few shivers down my spine with his soaring and yet not over-stressed voice. John's guitar playing is frankly sexual in its force and intensity (not dissimilar to Andy (Bourge)'s, actually), and James (switching between bass and synth no. 2) really brought it all together. They have style, grace, looks and confidence by the bucketload. Birmingham bands - the bar has been raised. Augustine - watch out, you may well have a stalker. ;)
