"Stunning Indie Pop" - RSW Concerts
"Honest, brave, dashing and witty, with vocals unlike any other" - Danny Wallace, XFM
"His voice is both soothing and plaintive and moves most powerfully when the music falls back into the quietude of simple guitar picking for accompaniment; creating the kind of ambivalent tension reminiscent of a Lord Byron poem or a David Sedaris essay" - Jasmine Anderson, Blogcritics Review
"A Molotoff Cocktail with legs" - My Dad
"A Man Of Many Talents" - Kelly Dalglish
"Like James Blunt, Only Good" - Live & Unsigned
"A cross between Gavin Rossdales teenage fueled angst and Billy Braggs street corner protest" - New York Waste
"If you don't like his music, you'll like him as a man... and if not as a man, at least you'll like his face" - Timothy James Pritchard

"his voice is both soothing and plaintive and moves most powerfully when the music falls back into the quietude of simple guitar picking for accompaniment; creating the kind of ambivalent tension reminiscent of a Lord Byron poem or a David Sedaris essay. Even when he's singing about the kind of loneliness that gets worse at night, there's a strange hopefulness in his voice that reassures things will all work out alright in the end." - Jasmine Anderson , Biocritics
“The problem with being a failed musician is that whenever you find yourself listening to pure talent you feel jealous and perhaps a little nauseous as you realise that you’ll never be that good. As a failed musician, when I listen to Gareth Icke, I feel like I’m in the throes of death…..but it’s a happy death.” -Alex Baker, KERRANG!
