ALBUM REVIEWS:

 

News Of The World: With folk-rockers like Mumford And Sons in fashion, hopefully there's a place for these Exeter lads. They do anthemic rabble-rousing tunes with more fire than anyone in Britain. A feast of moving songs that deserves to blaze a trail to next summer's festivals. 5/5

 

Maverick Magazine: Nestled somewhere inbetween indie, pop and folk, Count To Fire have a completely unique sound, meaning the boys stand out for all the right reasons. 4/5

 

whisperinandhollerin.com: There is a Beach Boys vibe hiding in there, and one of the best choruses you are likely to hear for a long time. This, ladies and gentleman of the music industry, is how "hit" songs should be written. 9/10

 

Americana-uk.com: They genuinely earn their place in the pantheon of Americana. 8/10

   

FIRST ALBUM 'SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF YOU' is availiable to buy online at cdbaby and iTunes.

 

     

REVIEWS FOR 'SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF YOU':

 

Americana-uk.com  

One of the most impressive things about Count To Fire is that while most of their influences come from across the pond they don't go out of their way to sound American like so many of their other British alt-country counterparts.

"Songs That Remind Me Of You" is the sound of a band who has the potential to stand alongside some of the bigger names who inspired them. An impressive debut which could make Count to Fire one of the best new British bands this year. 9/10

 

Chanel 4 Teletext (John Earls)

Along with Hampshire's The Dawn Chorus, the Exeter band are part of a small flurry of wondrous yet totally below-radar new English alt-country bands.

Will Odgers has a gorgeous, reflective voice like Bon Iver, and the songs are similarly evocative.

Spare musicianship never overplays its hand, using a rare economy that carries the full emotional spectrum. A band who need bringing into the spotlight. 8/10

 

Whisperinandhollerin.com

For such a “young” band, Count To Fire show exceptional maturity in both their sound and lyrics.

While their thus far DIY approach is to be admired, the music deserves a much larger audience. Labels should be fighting over these guys. 9/10

   

Excerpts from reviews of Count to Fire's debut EP:

 

They already inhabit a bittersweet universe of their own; it'd be foolish if a label didn't unleash it on us all. 9/10 - John Earls on Channel 4 Teletext.

 

What sets Count To Fire apart is the sheer quality of the song writing ... Hugely recommended. 9/10 Whisperin & Hollerin
