InfluencesPolice, Primus, thisGIRL, SOAD, Beck, Zappa, Soft Machine (McThing haha), Nick Cave, Cliffy Byro, Led Zeppelin, Captain Beefheart, Saved By The Bell...anything by Peter Engel
Sounds Like"Columbian Necktie break the ice - it's a quirky, rythmical sound with beats jumping around and songs chopping and changing unpredictably. A heavy guitar sound is prominent, riffing out all kinds of strange lines in accompaniment to the manifold rythms. Bass is melodic, and intertwines nicely with drums. Vocal is wired, self propelling, spouting out infrequent lines inbetween the unpredictable musical diversions. There's a manic, jazzy feel that can be reminiscent of Stump or maybe SOAD at their craziest. It's their own unique, angular rock sound for sure. A mad, stunning act that deliver the goods." - Neon Promotions.

"One upon a time, not too many years ago, you could listen to any band on the UK rock scene and compare them to a band from the 60s or 70s...but UK rock has now developed its own sound and manifested itself in the form of Columbian Necktie who sound like everything and nothing that has gone before them.

"In 4D is a geniune rock experimentation...thrash metal, electronics, jazzy bass lines, Brit-pop melodies with a tinge of dark moodiness.

In 4D is an out and out assault on the eardrums and this CD hasn't left my charger since it went in...fantastico!" Andy Whittaker ESP Magazine

"All the stars in heaven began to glow as Columbian Necktie strutted the stage and regaled the audience with as fine a collection of vibrantly demanding - and yet playful and amusing - musical delights. If you haven't seen Columbian Necktie I urge you - I implore you - to do so at your first opportunity or else leave your life bereft of all the joys they have to offer."

"If ever a band managed to combine darkness, humour, experimentation and just damn fine fun it must be Columbian Necktie."

"Refreshingly different - a little bit Frank Zappa with the crazy time signatures and tempos shifting all over the shop"

"The Columbian ones are a delight of jagged demands upon the ear"

"The biggest pile of bollocks i've ever heard"
