| Neye Benziyor? | "Agitated riffs like acid-byrnes and some big armed beast drums...odd little half riffs are thrown back and forth between guitar, bass and synth, the beat is relentless and sweaty and in the middle is this scary, beautiful woman telling me how it is...devilishly simple beat and I'm again being harried and hustled on some dancefloor, spiky melodies twisting out of the speakers and the pulse of bass rocking me back and forth...subtle brush strokes amongst the graffiti, touches of vocals and hints of intelligent musicians at work, building up here and stripping away where neccesary...sometimes I'm being battered and slapped around a bit, the next minute everything's sweetened and relaxed and the harmonious voices are making me smile...sometimes the notes are being slashed and pounded out, other times they're coaxed with style and heart giving the songs depth and dynamic...Imoko Set are very positive and very human and I really love them for that.”

"This band are class and with new singer Emma (formerly of Hotel Brown) they have found a winning formula. From what I heard at the BOM night you wouldnt think Emma was a new addition to the band. Delicate, catchy, precise and determined, Imoko Set are in my opinion one of the best bands our town has to offer and with some hard work could turn plenty of heads."
BOMFEST
"Imoko Set never let faux intellect get in the way of a fucking good song. Splendid! Imoko Set are a genuine band, rather than a few songs built around bleeps and whistles"
BARNSLEY SOUNDBYTES
"Another outstanding turn, as dusk descended and the queues at the bar grew ever more feverish, were the fantastic Imoko Set.
Like Arcade Fire with electropop leanings, outstanding female Sundays style vocals and a bag of ideas, why these haven't been signed up yet I don't know."
