"A gig in an art gallery no less– you can even lounge on a bed in this swanky place. There is no lying around from instrumental combo Patience Cleveland. In fact, they throw themselves about to the crashing rhythms, forged in ways that beard-strokers would no doubt term as angular. Gleaming shards of fragmented, meandering melody rise Jesu-like into a breaking slab of molten noise reminiscent of the likes of Kong and Capricorns."
- Terrorizer Magazine 2007.
"Instrumental new boys Patience Cleveland, whose raw 70's Kraut Rock and Refused blend of metal and punk is set for release April 07"
- roadrunnerrecords.co.uk. 2007.
"Essex math-rockers Patience Cleveland have been steadily building their fan base during 06, wowing all with their technical prowess. Throwing out an angular-jarring polyrhythmic assault, bands like Don Caballero and Battles should seriously watch their backs. Their debut EP is expected in early 07, keep your ears peeled."
- Rock Sound Magazine (HOT 100) 2006.
"Essex instrumentalists Patience Cleveland, who have been building momentum for a little while now and will appear on the Rock Sound Exposure Stage at End Of Days Fest, show what all the fuss is about tonight with an impressive performance. Pitched somewhere between Don Caballero and The Fucking Champs, they bring the math-inflected riffs with minimum fuss and maximum dexterity."
- Rock Sound Magazine @ The Barfly, Camden, London. July 30 2006.
"This
quartet's first demo features three tracks of angular instrumental math-rock
that will definitely appeal to fans of Don Caballero and the likes of.
Promising stuff. 8/10"
- Rock Sound Magazine 2006.
"Patience Cleveland have two guitarists, a bassist and a drummer - but no singer. It works to their advantage, as their totally uncompromised rock guitar noise makes for a surprisingly liberating listen. It could all be terribly self-indulgent but the band have a clear ear for a tune and keep toes tapping throughout."

"...loose, Fall-informed drunkeness to their guitar-rock approach. They shout a little, grovel in riff-dirt a little, and sound happy to hoot while they shamble." - THE WIRE
"More than pretty damn unique, interesting...and, listen up - inventive. " - Sleazegrinder
"Stray Dog Cafe aren't a band that sound like anyone of their influences - there is more than enough Stray Dog Cafe here to make this LP a fine debut in it's own right. I, for one, want to hear more bands taking this harder edge to their guitars. Highly recommended." - Indie MP3
"Noise-pop trio Stray Dog Café have an admirable range of influences and leftfield ideas…self-mocking really underplays the impressive level of imagination on board. " - Manchestermusic
