"The Charlottefield Sound is blood raw and primitive ugly/beautiful like kissing someone with a smashed mouth. It’s also out there, abstracted and vaguely sci-fi horror, a ghost story from the moon."
- Anon, Smoking Beagle
"Chainsaw-motored guitars sound wondrously evil and paranoid atmospherics dwell like the bruised purple of a gloriously overcast dusk. As the rhythms change and judder, the band flex to their own foreboding frequencies..."
- Jonathan Falcone, Plan B
"By turns life-affirmingly aggressive, doomy, ballsy, and brazenly punk in an utterly real way, Brighton’s Charlottefield are as raw and naked as it gets; a stripped visceral mess that’s brilliant live. Great, tight drumming, classy basslines, and vicious up-tempo guitar work augmented by insane vocals..."
- Stuart Turnbull, BBC Collective
"Charlottefield offer a nice line in cerebral massaging with hot needles for fingers..." -www.losingtoday.com
"...impressive arrangements of the harsh and the beautiful..." -www.angryape.com
"...and they pulled off such an escape of everything you'd expect from a support band to The Go! Team..." -www.bigyawn.net
"But… Jesus! Can’t you see? They’re… they’re MONSTERS... They ain’t respectable human beings!" -www.airwavesback.com

Walker did the artwork for everything except the Noisestar 12", Cove split 7", Picture Diary 7" and comps. James Dennett played bass on the Cove split 7" and Picture Diary 7" and on the tracks featured on the Un17 and Twominutemen compilations. You can get a t-shirt designed by Walker from the band or from here.

"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.
Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro
