CheckMate Live (Supporting Holloways @ Waterfront) ..
"you know me listeners i like people who sound slightly agitated and like their about to spontaneously combust halfway through a song, if your of a similar state of mind then you'll like this." Steve Lamacq, Radio 1
“foot stomping, dance-enduring alternative Indie beats! lead vocalist Ben Fenwick shows real passion and enjoyment of his trade as he belts out lyrics with excitable foot stamping accompaniment” themusicguruonline.co.uk
“inventive and full of quality, driven home with a real energetic stage performance from vocalist Ben Fenwick.” lincolnbands.co.uk
“Rigo Jancsi had the whole place jumping and going mental, I’ve never seen a reaction like that to a support band before!” Dave Danger (The Holloways)
“beautifully competent. The guitars come at you with an attitude you have no hope of halting, start-stopping over two and a half thrilling minutes much like the best music of the late 70s. I’m telling you this because ‘Check Mate’ reminds me of early Adam & the Ants. Not the pantomime memory of a man with a white stripe across his face, but the vibrant, leathery post-punks of 1978, whose legacy – intentionally or otherwise – pervades Matt Twinn’s drums and Ben Fenwick’s wonderful vocals. Where’s the rest?”

“Sometimes all you need is a fantastic sounding guitar, and Rigo Jancsi certainly have that. Luckily they also have a quality song, and a great vocalist to pull it off. Fuzzy and grungy indie rock with a strong foot-stamping quality to it will always do well, and with Rigo Jancsi’s energy and passion they’ve got a solid base to build on” isthismusic.com
“Tearing its way through headphones and speakers alike, CheckMate is a dark and brooding piece of rage fuelled rock music, heavily tinged with punk influences, this track has all the ingredients to send a crowd into a state of unadulterated frenzy. The music is powerful, unremitting and takes no prisoners, and to be honest, it’s a breath of fresh air to hear a band producing this sort of music, as they genuinely do set themselves apart from every other prosaic indie/alternative band we seem so awash with at the moment.” subcity.org
