ALBUM

"You are looking at an album that is so rare, so well created and driven by people so talented, it is nothing short of perfect."10/10 - AudioScribbler

"Bona fide genius."8/10 - NME

"The blend of Owen Brinley's choirboy vocals and a raft of prog-tinged riffs is a source of promise, magic and drama."4/5 - Uncut

"Grammatics are doing something brave and truly exceptional."8/10 - Drowned In Sound

"Introducing the most accomplished newcomers to parade in 2009."8/10 - Clash

"An early contender for Rock Sound's Album's Of 2009."8/10 - Rock Sound

"This is post-pop at it's finest and more importantly feels like a step forward when many peers are staying resolutely put."4/5 - The Fly

"There's real heart to their art, and consequently, 'Grammatics' is a masterclass in uneasy listening."4/5 - Attitude

"One of 2009's most astounding, and in many ways unparalleled albums."9/10 - Contact Music

"'Grammatics' cannot help but end up being one of your favorite albums of the year."5/5 - For The Sound

"Grammatics have managed to achieve that increasingly difficult and incredibly exciting feat of managing to sound like a 'Step Forward'. A perfectly realised debut!"4.5/5 - God Is In The TV

"This debut is mind blowing!"10/10 - Rock Sellout

"Grammatics have taken the time it needed to make this album a perfect record of their current state of pop genius."10/10 - Whisperin' & Hollerin'

BAND

"Over-the-top strop pop... these kids are geniuses [sic]" - Artrocker

"Grammatics make a stunning art rock noise. " - Clash

"Some of the most epic, intelligent pop music produced by a British band in an awfully long time. Pretty fucking special." - Drowned In Sound

"Wonderful... sit-up-and-listen strange and at once arresting" - The Sunday Times

"Spellbinding" - The Fly

"One of the country's best bands...If they keep this up, they won't be the new whoever, by the end of the year everyone will be the new them." - Maps Magazine

   About GRAMMATICS






Grammatics formed around April 2006 in a terraced house basement just outside Leeds city centre. We soon found that we share many mutual loves...argument, doing things in the most difficult possible manner and general pretentiousness. We are all deluded with grandeur. We write songs faster than we can learn them, rarely repeat song sections without warping them into something different and attempt to utilise any instruments we can find regardless of quality or tone. Grammatics are a stylistically diverse band and like to hop though most of the genres related to indie-rock. Maybe we are stylistically incoherent. Maybe we are self-indulgent. Hopefully we will please the ears of those susceptible to that kind of nonsense. Maybe you'll like our music...we don't especially care if you don't, otherwise it would hurt…The danger’s where you care...

Hi Grammatics! Just popping by to say I thought your set supporting Bloc Party in bournemouth was fantastic, i really enjoyed it :D especially Shadow Comittee.

my friend told me about your tunes in the summer, and ive been listening non-stop since, and when I found out you were supporting Bloc Party I was very excited!
Hopefully you guys will be playing near bournemouth soon, would love to see you again

Hey guys, I'm Ed. I spoke to you after the Brighton show on Saturday, got a 7" signed, it was a great set and I hope you're having a great end to the tour! I was just wondering if you could have a listen to my own stuff and see what you think, as I said to your drummer about it afterwards and he said to say about it on here. It's acoustic stuff, I've only just turned 16 and have an album on iTunes, so if you could listen and tell me what you think that'd be great :) Also, my band, In Mono, is doing some recording on Saturday, so I'll give you more details nearer the time.

Thanks again for a great show, looking forward to hearing from you
