REVIEWS
Drowned in Sound 8/10
This City Holds Us All possesses a wide-eyed energy and youthful exuberance - not to mention melodic intricacy - that's sadly lacking from other guitar bands of Situationists' ilk. It's a fine start to their recorded career, but most excitingly of all the best is almost certainly yet to come.
Artrocker Magazine
All four songs sport the kind of guitars and vocals that give people hope that some of the indie pap in the charts at the moment might just get edged out for tunes that you don't mind going round in your head.
Tasty Fanzine
[This City Holds Us All] is a glorious slice of the kind of indie music that used to be made back when Britpop was meaningful; unusual chords, clever time signatures, but everything's there for a reason… it's well produced, lyrically sound and bursting with ideas. What more do you want?
Manchester Music Scene 4/5
…skittering multi-part harmonies and the scything stab of guitar, Situationists have an array of splendid moments at their disposal… clever, attractive stuff… Four excellent tracks from a band who offer a complex, melodic theme to modern living – big things should beckon.
Bassist from t'Arctic Monkeys
They look like proper students but have some reet tunes
hey Ralph! yeah it was saturday the 2nd of February come to think of it... i have it on a little flyer on the wall next to me. silly me, i didnt see many bands that day tho because it was a party that night. doh. you should come again though! and thank-you. for your kind words :) xx
Hi guys, I'm Lou (the lead singer of TO BE RHUDES!).. unfortunatly I wasn't there when you played in Prato (fuck!).. I just want to say that you're great mates, I mean really! in Italy we say "you make holes in the floor!", eheheh. Hope to see you in London on august! (we forgot to put you on ours top..)cheers!
Dudes!?!? Was really good at vintage last saturday, easily the best band of the night. I was talking to your drummer outside whilst you packed up. Cant wait for your return :)
yo yo yo! we've only got a handful of real copies of our second issue left. THEY'RE FREE, but they won't last long. email freakkingdomproject@hotmail.co.uk and say PAPER with your postal address for a real copy, or NOT PAPER for a fake one.
this time we've got..
interviews: kotki dwa, cutting pink with knives, munch munch, dan llywelyn hall (sunday times young artist of year '03) + the mae shi, rolo tomassi, pre, antarctica takes it!, fuck buttons, vampire weekend, xiu xiu. romanian cinema, jewish theatre, the one page book review, the flaneur.
cheers man!! You guys sound cracking too, it will be a pleasure to battle it out with you! we've got to fly the flag, eh?! I wouldn't be surprised if Married To the Sea aren't a little partial to American Football either. I dont know what I've based that on, just that I like them I suppose?! take it easy, hopefully I'll see you along the way somewhere. matt.
We see that you have made it through to Road to V semi Finals, good luck with it! You're one of the few bands we've come across we think are good... Love and Kisses, Flat 29
guys you were fantastic too.it was great to have seen you eventually after hearing so much about you.better than expected!ACE!and it's happening again!!!yay!x
Amazing stuff last night guys, was really good to have you down, enjoyed meeting you all! :) I'll try and make a point of getting up sometime for one of your Sheffield dates and a bit of a party like! Hope you all got home safe anyway, good job on the EP as well! Just sat and had a good listen, loved it! I'll update when I manage to blow the dust out of the vinyl player wherever that's hiding :p Stay smiles, speak soon.
oh well i am one of "the family" of the rhudes but not strictly one of the band! yes i love 130 but if hear the songs for a long time i think fair play woman is best! (130 is more immediate i think) cheers!
The sound man's a pro, you won't be disappointed I'm sure! Anyway, looking forward to seeing you again, meeting your band and actually getting a chance to witness you guys live! Should all be a real fun experience I hope! Anyway, see you on the weekend!
No such luck, but all i can say is that we may be able to do it in delemere forest next year, which is possibly the coolest. We're thinking of April too easter break but still a bit iffy.
You guys playing manchester any time soon? Really wanna see you all live. x
Naww my mums name, cos it was her switch card I used. And yes it was being sent to N. Ireland :] Oddly enough it said Devon on it :/ S'all good though cos it arrived today x
