"Oppressively urgent and scythingly raw in their approach with just enough polish to make the songs sparkle, Sound Stripe produce a rolling blues-laden rock that, with the right hand at the tiller, could beat a path to the centre of dark hearts everywhere."
Chris Long
"fast, furious and completely surprising."
Katie Storey,
Rochdale Observer
"A fresh and edgy sound that fills the void somewhere between The White Stripes and Thin Lizzy."
Alison Hover
Rock Louder
"These guys are embarrassingly accomplished musicians. Awesome drums, super tight bass, and a dual guitar assualt that would saw your nipples right off, given the chance. They may have only played to an audience of thirty, given the big football match, but they did so like it was one of 30,000. Let's hope they have the audience they deserve then."
Ian Saunders
Listen to Manchester
"Sounds Stripe, a Manchester band with a striking opening track ("Ordinary Man") to their profile that strikes with drums and vocals with the first punch, are fast becoming a big deal. Having been together only a year and half, it's quite an astonishing to hear such a polished result from what are very accomplished musicians."
