WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Soaring, epic tunes. They Could be really big. One to watch out for!"
 - Steve Harris (XFM)

"Channelling the spirit of Doves, Editors and Interpol, Motion Picture Soundtrack are from Canterbury in Kent and cite Arcade Fire and Sigur Rós among their influences. There's a similar widescreen sensibility at work, as the intense and panoramic surge of their track Departure comes at you like a shower of knives."   - Road to V (Festival)

"This is one of the best bands I have heard this year. With memories of John Martyn, Talk Talk and Radiohead - and with Motion Picture Soundtrack’s original style - these tracks sound fresh and focused. The band deserve to do well."
 - Phill Brown M.B.E (Engineer: David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley)

"Well impressed. Really good song writing & music, and a band that should definitely be heard!"   - Jase Burns (Kerrang! Radio)

"Motion Picture Soundtrack are going from strength to strength. We can only expect exciting things from a band I am proud to call local."
 - Tom Kirkby (BBC Kent Introducing)

"Startlingly beautiful."  - Neill Barston (Kent Messenger)
