URB (4 out of 5 stars)
"Rolling Stones catapulted into the electronica age ... an exploration
of influences tied together by electronic undertones."
London Tour Dates Mag (feature)
“Electro-innovators in the studio, searingly powerful hard rock band on stage...My God, they rock hard, do the Linx on stage."
The Daily News (4 out of 5 stars)
“'Black Entertainment' is a wonderfully eclectic album by a band that’s equally adept in multiple genres."
Rock-a-Rolla Magazine
"Imagine if the Stones and UNKLE had jammed together at their peak. If you can get your head around that then you are some way towards hitting what BM LINX have managed to capture on [Black Entertainment]"
Covert Curiosity - SXSW recap
"BM LINX and Mike Relm absolutely stole the show....[BM LINX] had the crowd dancing from the first note....they ended up being one of the best bands I saw at SXSW."
4or The Record
"[Black Entertainment] provides fresh and inspiring sounds and compels rock music and electronica to levels that other bands in the same bracket should aspire to"
Room 13
"By cleverly mixing elements of electronica, rock and including a hefty slab of dance music, [BM LINX has] created one of the most interesting and varied albums heard for some time."
Banging Drum (9 out of 10)
"It’s hard to say whether world is ready to take on such musical genius, but one thing I do know – when they make their way over to this side of the pond, I’ll be standing in the front row."
Altsounds
“With an electro-indie-rock swaggering sound that lies somewhere in the very vast space between Kasabian and Radio Soulwax, BM LINX are something of a breath of fresh air."
M1st (5 out of 5 stars)
“With a scintillating combination of epic rock'n'roll and stylish electro-pop, BM LINX's sound is sure to please club-heads and mosh pit enthusiasts alike. What's unusual though is that the album flows seamlessly between genres like it was born of an entirely natural process; no mean feat by anyone's standards."
The Dreaded Press
“'Kids on Fire' is no shy beast: big verses, vast choruses and then that snaking acid box is loosed about two thirds of the way in, offering a sparkly, twisting ride to the end with no time for no stoopid middle eight or any of that old fashioned rock cliché, yo...'KOF' sounds how you’d imagine Depeche Mode would like to were they not old enough to be your dad."
DSD Music Magazine
“They are essentially the Darth Vader to Girl Talk's Han Solo."
Red Hot Velvet
"Transitions across genres don’t come much more varied than this though the blend is sweet. What BM LINX have here is floor filler that will appeal to a wide audience... Rather than just rockers, or indie kids and or dance guru‘s, 'Kids On Fire' will become a fitting anthem to grace any number of scenes..."
Indie Rock Review
"I can't think of a better album that demonstrates the seamless
transition and blend between rock n' roll and electronica."
Amplifier Mag
"... Just as impressive is BM LINX’s sonic range, from the pure techno thump of 'Clean Dirt' to the Nick Drake/Richard Thompson acoustic guitar instrumental workout of 'White Limousine' to the massively grooved indie rock menace of the Cult-like 'Find the Water'."
The Deli Magazine
"BM LINX manage somehow to create a sound that mixes ingredients as disparate as good old Rock'n'Roll (read Rolling Stones), Hard Rock (Led Zeppelin), Electronica and Psych Rock (The Doors, Secret Machines). Their sound is aggressive but polished. If you are in desperate need of a rather epic experience head to [see them live]"
EQ Mag
October 2008 issue: Alan Moulder interview on mixing "Black Entertainment".
RCRDLBL
"Imagine if Depeche Mode or The Killers were set to the more sadistic electro beats of UNKLE; ['Understanding Orange'] jams within you..."
The Pill
"['Black Entertainment'] further solidifies the blossoming
relationship between modern electro and progressive 70s rock purity."
Remix
"From '80s rocker 'The Outlaw Jimmy Rose' to the heavy electro-rock of '123CAT,' they make everything come out crisp and arena-size ..."
NYC Electro
"...their catchy and bass heavy rock songs with undertones of dance beats either makes your average dance junkie jam to their sexy guitar riffs or your lower east side rocker shake their ass."
Netmix
"BM LINX [blends] electronic beats with real, rock guitars ... a wopping
mixture of wailing guitars, complete with solos over thumping
electronic percussion and synth tracks supported by a live drummer … who
kicks ass, by the way."
the outlaw jimmy rose is one wicked banger of a tune! i actually just heard that one tune and found you guys. just from listening to that one tune, i purchased one of your hipster t-shirts. good job, guys!
Yo..yea man that was a short set at Fredrock. I think they should have given you more time instead of those Creed wannabee bitches Age of Daze. The singer is in love with his own voice i think..ha You guys rocked er' man, lots of energy and i dug the psychedelic sound. Come back anytime.
That was a great set at The Drake. Revisiting the 70’s swashbuckling-outlaw look, the trio made a convincing attempt of cross-breeding old-school hard rock with adrenalized electro-styled percussion. With comparisons ranging from NIN to Electric Six, lead guitarist Tony Diodore isn’t afraid to rip through solos with Hendrixian force accompanied by a hefty dose of mallet-style drumming akin to The Secret Machines. The three-man onslaught sounded bigger than it looked, which is what a rock and roll show should be.
