"Rook and The Ravens impress with a versatility reminiscent of The Byrds and Traffic."
(The Independent,2009)
"Earlier tonight, the High Peak five piece, Rook and The Ravens took to the stage and performed an articulate, edgy, blistering, self-assured and diverse set. The audience willingly allowed themselves to be engulfed by the eternal fireball of classic rock that this band exist in and why not? They are, without a doubt, an inspirational and exhilarating experience."
(BBC Introducing Manchester, 2008)
"This young Americana-infused indie group are becoming regulars on the festival circuit thanks to their well crafted up-beat and remarkably versatile sound, aided and abetted by having three equally able vocalists sharing mic duties. Ranging from Coral-esque west-coast vibes to the best of indie-pop, hopefully these boys are the shape of things to come."
(Victoria Sayce, 2009, for www.gigwise.com)
"Rook and The Ravens play the kind of sound that captivates me, and do indeed show the hallmarks of their named influence... Neil Young."
(Scott Williams, 2009, for www.efestivals.co.uk)
"Rook and the Ravens do like a “big” sound, one that can fill every nook and cranny of a venue. On a warm spring evening like tonight, they provide sunshine pop ideal for the occasion. Then to prove they are more than a one dimensional unit, they drop into an almost C&W, bluesy even segment. Swapping vocalists dependant upon the style and feel of the number, it’s always controlled and passionate, never strained."
(Ged Camera, 2009, rmusic.co.uk)
"What a superbly accomplished band they are. They treated us to a performance comprising of material from their upcoming new album. Had it been available to buy there and then we would all have left clutching a copy.
These guys are right up there with the best around. Their own material is of superb quality and sat very well with the three crowd pleasing covers from Crosby, Stills and Nash, Neil Young and The Band. Illustrious company indeed. I look forward to owning a copy of the finished album..."
(Garry 'The Hat' for The Macclesfield Express, 2009)
"Think massive rock ballads split by a country blade. Two alliances are at work in this band, but they flock together with precision. Lyrics are intelligent, and as real as 'The Girl with a Chip on her Shoulder'. 'Hear Me' is my favourite!"
(Amanda DeAngeles for Glasswerk, 2008)
"We've been listening to your CD in the van all day today, it's really good!"
(John Hassall of The Libertines/Yeti, 2008)
"This band are producing truly fantastic music, lyrically, vocally and instrumentally."
(Savvy Magazine, 2008)
"Forget Twisted Wheel and The Courteeners... the future lies with Rook and The Ravens!"
('Guitar George' Borowski, 2008)
