'ELLIOT TO HONG KONG UNLEASHED THE FULL FORCE OF AN ECLECTIC MASH-UP OF PURE POP UNDERLINED BY SOME MENACING BREAKBEATS'. - Get Reading
'As an incredibly energetic live act, ETHK are a treat for the ears and eyes. Creating an irreverent mash-up of electro indie-pop akin to Crystal Castles (minus the obnoxious attitude) it's a pleasure to watch a band so genuinely passionate about their music. Their infectious performance is sure to draw spectators into their frenzied world where the music rules and intertia is not an option'. - Fly Magazine
