Sounds Like“The result is a seamless crossover of musical elements and killer hooks, which will surely see this UK south coast based band snapped up on the same label as Thrice or Glassjaw within the next twelve months.”

Ships Hung In The Sky (2008)

“A Goliath journey through hardcore cityscapes and dormant volcanic ambience.”
Musicouch.com

"A word like.Attack offer a highly musical take on the post-hardcore sound, with sweet piano and chilling guitars in the quieter sections that explode into magnificent blasts of energy." 7/10
The-Mag.me.uk

".Attack show that in terms of building up soaring peaks to heighten emotional and hard edged falls, they have a talent.”
Audioscribbler.com

Live

"a word like.attack are hugely energetic... worth a visit if you see them on a line-up near you." The-Mag.me.uk

“…The rough and overly English accent combined with perfectly with the quick and tidy sound produced by the rest of the band creating a kind of tame chaos - I have a feeling this band will go wild any time now.”
