"Live, Idiosync are one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from the Midlands in recent memory and Godmonkey Recordings have thankfully gone and done the decent thing and signed them up to capture the venomous math rock beast and unleash it on you lucky people. Symbiosis is five stabs of slamming sonic scintillation - get it while it's shit hot." Andy Roberts - The Fly
"Idiosync are like At The Drive-In meets some kind of ridiculous indie band... in a good way!" Alex Baker - Kerrang Radio
"Listening to Shards you first wonder whether it's going to burst into a hard house floor filler, and yet it turns out to be something quite different, but equally compels one to jump up and down erratically. A proper floor filling monster." Review of 'Shards' by BeatCastTV
"Its been a while since i've heard a band pull off blending so many genres of music into their style of writing. Theres a 70's prog Rock feel to iDiOSYNC's sound along with choppy guitar riffs. There's a heavy dance feel to get yer feet moving. Thrown in for good measure are some pretty cool synth/effects goin' on in there too. The vocal arrangements really fill out the bands sound giving their music an edgy, sharp, slap you in the head shot of rock, dance, indie..... The boys have defined their sound as 'art-beat', reflecting their influences from styles of music such as Prog Rock, Break Beat, Math-Pop, Drum and Bass. All i can say is they have created a unique sound that deserves recognition as a genre in itself. Interesting that the band include Pendulum in their list of influences. Well here's a coincidence. Not since seeing Pendulum playing live have i heard a band create such a wall of sound that you feel pulled into the performance. Luckily ive had the pleasure of seeing iDiOSYNC play live. And yes there's an in yer face energy and enthusiasm that fills the room. (Big up to Simon Khan the drummer......you kick ass my man).One reason for this is that the band all play their instruments/have a feel for writing like seasoned professionals. Take a listen, you wont be disappointed. P.S. If you can see the boys live this August, do so. Its the law." Digits - GotSeeN.com
"Even before they play a note, it’s obvious that The Fly is not going to be disappointed with Idiosync. This cool as fuck four-piece sound like Foals clawing apart Bloc Party with one hand while gouging out the eyes of Maps and Atlases with the other. The place erupts as they launch into ‘Shards’, a frantic jut of drums and guitar licks with an enormous chorus before the set progresses into a series of groin thrusting math wig-outs. Frontman Nicholas Ebanks hops around like Yosemite Sam on hot coals between spinning yarns of chasing tail – positioning the band comfortably with the libidinous surroundings of this ‘former’ titty joint. Hmmm, a cold shower and a sit down me thinks." Andy Roberts - 'The Fly'
"You are like Bloc Party meets Mars Volta meets Foals meets Hot Club De Paris meets Biffy Clyro, meets Radiohead" ɥƃuıs ƃuıʞ (Alex McIntyre Singh)
"Guitars of the future" Joe Green - Divine Secret
"Falsettos - shout-outs & screams punctuate this guitar stabbing riot - a head down stomper" Review of 'Shards' by 13shuffle (13shuffle.ning.com)
Idiosync are just your average multi-ethnic, progressive post-hardcore indie drum 'n' bass psychedelic two-step garage anti-pop, pop band... you know the type, and we hail from Redditch and Birmingham.
