"The band now appears tantalisingly close to living up to their name, and judging by the praise and applause from the crowd, they're every bit as good as word-on-the-street would have you believe." - Jonathon Howard, Time Off, Issue 1382
"Locals Stature::Statue are up first, a band comprised mainly of hair and guitars. The tightness of the band is immediately apparent as they blast out math-rock inflected post-punk with precision and finesse, ever changing riffs coalescing with rapid-fire drumming and the occasional loop. It’s a promising set and I suspect that much like Samson they will get stronger as their hair gets bigger." - Michael Pincott, Rave Magazine
"Stature::Statue get things off to an extremely raw start... The music of this frenetic four-piece is all barreling guitar chords and dark basslines, propelled forward by the drumwork of the manic James, who handles each songs numerous tempo changes with ease. The guitar play is excellent, especially from second guitarist Eddie, and Luke sings like a man possessed by demonic musical forces... Stature::Statue may never be radio darlings, but if you like your wall-of-noise rock dirty and demented, these guys should be your new favourite band." - Reviewer "gumbuoy", Fasterlouder.com.au
"Stature::Statue opens to a smattering of early audience members and nearly tears my ears off in the process... they drive their epileptic songs every which-way with ruthless energy. Two things I learnt about Stature::Statue—not only do they have a big sound, but they have big hair too." - Lindsey Cuthbertson, Rave Magazine
"Tonight's sizable early crowd are receptive to the spiky post-punk exhibited by locals Stature::Statue, who regard their half-hour with a wry smile amid layers of delicious noise. Their series of explosive numbers are propelled by break-neck drumming, shouted vocals and swarming chords that explore the fretboard with urgency..." - Andrew McMillen, Rave Magazine
