"Gosh... what a hot band! The Pixies go bossa nova with a good dose of psychedelic electro... the result?… extremely soothing Guided By Voices style tracks with original and interesting dynamics Sonic Youth would be proud of... soundscapes of weird psychedelia (without getting too over the top!), kick arse guitars and all round x, y and z factors…." Bugbear Promotions, Dublin Castle, London (2009)
"A beautiful soothing seductive voice, the lo-fi d.i.y messy home-made production is spot on, the textures, the radiance, the shafts of sunlight. Dreamy tiny epics and radio hiss and gentle warmth and backward guitar and pastoral melodies and hazy summer warmth – Sea Nymphs and Flaming Lips and My Bloody Valantine and Guided By Voices and a delicate fragile lo-fo star touching Grandaddy – most of all Countryside are unique – music to absolutely fall in love with..." Organ magazine
"Internet buzz can make a band. If you put your song up on your MySpace and the right person likes it, you have a career even before you thought. Shows in your friend’s basement can become sold out shows at the Bowery Ballroom before you even blink. Usually this kind of “king making” is reserved for uber-cool blogs full of movers and shakers that are more interested in selling ad space and parties they can get into than music, but I am proud to announce that I beat them all to it and found the next band the world is going to be buzzing about. The name of this mystery band is Countryside..." Broken Dial - New York
"laconic slacker rock come shoegaze dreaming from Bristol newcomers" - LOFI-HIFI
"...a seriously top band and a great addition to Bristol's vibrant music scene" - Bristol Uncovered
"Countryside. Rocked like the indie rock gods they are destined to become. A touch of Grandaddy here, and a hint of Flaming Lips there, all adds up to a great band...When they're massive, I hope they'll give us some support slots!" - Beatnik Filmstars
"..one of Bristol's best new bands, pilers of dreamy, psychadelic, distorted pop soundscapes" & "Psychedelic guit-pop shaped soundscapes, dreamy, laconic vocals, and the reason for that their red star" & "Band of the Year 2007" - Venue Magazine
"Epic and dreamy synth-tinged rock from these fine melodic shoegazers - hints of Grandaddy & Guided by Voices topped with heavenly laconic vocals and a heady psychedelic sensibility" - RaRaRa Promotions
"Hypnotic gentle vocals and acid-trippin' melodies from this weirdy beardy but beautiful guitar-pop band. Fuzzy guitars and squelchy Moog sounds, Countryside have wowed Bristol audiences on their epic musical journeys. A style of their own, but sprinkled with the warped genius of Grandaddy, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, Guided By Voices and White Album-period Beatles. So join us for a trip through the Countryside..." GO APE
"Gentle psych-beat pop songs wafted in on a wave of backwards guitar...something like a dream Bagpuss had about something the mice found on the way home from a party that turned out to be a British psych-pop box set. Choral choruses, pastoral melodies and impish fuzz guitar slide in and out of the sound picture to make a hazy summers day of a song. Search somewhere between the gentler side of Love, The Beatles, when they discovered all you need is love (and acid), and the poppier side of Guided By Voices." - PURR RecordsCOUNTRYSIDE ON LAST FM ***CLICK HERE*** COUNTRYSIDE ON FACEBOOK ***CLICK HERE*** COUNTRYSIDE FACEBOOK GROUP ***CLICK HERE***Interviews...

Fresh from their show at Barcelona's Primavera festival, Teeth Mountain will be unleash their heavy concoction of new-wave tribal psychedelic sounds on Cube, using driving percussion like other bands use guitars.
Deep, thick layers of rhythms and overlays of ambiance, from the gritty to the sublime, this eight-piece outfit create a controlled mayhem of weighty neo-tribal trance music, part Indian, part African, part Balkan, and part Baltimore, that transforms consciousness and carries the group and their listeners to higher states.
The Wire magazine recently praised their 'refusal to acknowledge any kind of destination point for their jamming, achieving a convincing state of suspension throughout, helped by some engagingly forceful drumming.'
Teeth Mountain pummel with noise and drums but are always inviting and joyous, a new wave of tribal sounds in underground music. Be prepared to witness a heady, peyote-voodoo brew, getting you out of your seats and on your feet. Teeth Mountain will enthrall you in a rhythmic, musical spell.
