Press/Reviews
"Having starting out playing original songs and plenty of AC/DC and Aerosmith covers, the band are definitely the rockiest of the night; heavy on the guitars riffs and with stadium sounds on the agenda. They also have the personality for it, treating the stage like it should be; a performer platform." eGigs.co.uk
"These mild mannered lads from Wakefield take the essence of rock and roll, put it through school, send it to college and give it a degree, intelligent but energetic music." Music-News.com
"A floating epic, with some really thoughtful musical shifts." Matchbox Recordings Limited on Gravity.
"Euphoria Audio...sounded tight and very well rehearsed with catchy energetic songs with some finely crafted guitar solos." HullVibe.co.uk
"Euphoria Audio' rolls off the tongue as smoothly as the unique melodies and diverse sounds flow from this modern hard rock group...their music exudes a melange of rock and roll and pop, with a generous helping of melancholic lyrics and energetic melodies." The Nouse Magazine
"The three songs on the demo are...hard to categorise, although chiming guitars and bass-heavy riffs, especially on Flow, testify to their early fondness of U2 and that band the aforementioned Mr (Jimmy) Page played in." Music Scene
"As tight as the preverbial badger's arse, EUAU aren't around to wear skinny jeans and ponce around over the latest 'cool sound' there here to write proper rock tunes and play proper rock gigs, catch their huge Incubus squashing live sound." The Loft
"Euphoria Audio...is a very original and very superb band. Very tight instrumentally and with a fantastic rock vocalist. This band would work well at festivals and have the potential to perhaps fill stadiums one day." With Just A Hint Of Mayhem
