Birmingham Live Review - 26/02/09:
" Opening band Suddenly, Phantoms! are LOUD. I don’t mean a bit loud in an ‘I’m over 30 now and need a nice lie down’ loud - I mean they’re ‘Christ on a bike my eardrums are vibrating!’ loud. It is, quite frankly, bloody amazing. I have since been and listened to their recorded tracks and so on on their MySpace and you know…they just don’t prepare you for it. This is a band whose live energy is going to be very, very hard to capture on any kind of recording, which means only one thing: you need to go and see them. I’m not saying their recordings aren’t any good by the way - far from it - but good lord.
There is a faint hint of the early Iron Maiden -in a GOOD way, look, just trust me - about some of the guitar playing which, combined with the epileptic thrashing about that accompanies it, is pretty impressive. In fact there is so much bouncing about that three songs from the end, the guitar strap gave up and guitarist Rob was forced to play the rest of the gig sitting on the floor. (It didn’t detract from things.) Anyway look. They are really very good. Go and see them if you can…but if you’re at all delicate, take earplugs. I still had concert hum on SATURDAY, so I am not complaining! They’re also on Steve Lamacq’s show on R1 on Monday night, if you get chance to listen. "
