I really like the stuff on your myspace, great energy. Tom Woodhead, (iForward, Russia!)
For a young band, Hey Panda create quite a racket, and by the end of the set I realise positioning myself inches from the speaker hasn’t done much good for my left ear. They come across like the Rapture if they owned more fuzz pedals, with dancey, pounding drums and jagged, spikey guitar riffs. Matthew Benn, Dirtyzine
An eclectic mix of shambolic wig-outs and high tempo beats was how you would imagine The Fall to sound following a date with The Rapture. James Rush, Bradford Telegraph & Argus
An explosion of jerky, fast paced, post-punk/no wave noise. Jamila, Fuckingdance

Friday 11th July Wintermute + Fires Easily one of our best catches to date, Wintermute are currently one of the most exciting acts on the Leeds scene. Fresh from a nationwide tour supporting Oceansize and with debut Ep 'Fun With Wizard Stencils' due to be released early August, Wintermute are surely set to make it big in 2008. Support for the evening comes from promising new Hebden electro-rock outfit Fires.
"A curious combo of At The Drive-In and Interpol, splashed with a bit of Foals-ian mathletics, tight and adventurous, Wintermute are cool." NME
"...punchy and pop-infected, akin to The Futureheads poising notes at sharper angles. Ditch the doubts at the door: expect to be impressed. " Rock Sound
Health were due to play, I got a phone call the afternoon before to say they'd messed up their flights and couldn't make it. I was massively gutted to say the least...!
