"Probably the most inventive irish album this decade. Brimming with energy and exoticness." -4/5 stars Sunday Tribune
"Super Extra Bonus Party kick out the jams with a barrage of magnificent sounds and shapes... There’s clattering electro, hypnotic indie-pop drones, a bit of dreamy ambience, a belt of dirty hip hop rudeboyisms, and moments where all of the above appear to come perfectly together in one very deep and wide soundclash. "4/5 stars- Irish Times
"A melting pot of sonic treats... contender for Irish album of the year" -5/5 stars The Star
"What the Irish music scene would sound like if it weren’t so unflappingly shite" -75% Mongrel
“Can the best dance album of the year really have originated from Newbridge in Kildare? It’s hard to quibble with the evidence: Super Extra Bonus Party’s self titled LP is a jazzed-up electro triumph featuring snatches of hip-hop and funk. The results are beautifully daft and completely original.” - Irish Independent
“A glorious technicolour mess... among the best Irish releases of the last few years... the sound of a summer that never ends.” - AU
"The schizophrenic sequencing and magpie eclecticism of Super Extra Bonus Party’s debut is a joyous sign of the times. The mix CD sensibility leads us on an emotional, exhausting but ultimately satisfying journey. It begins, like many great records, with a rousing instrumental; a trumpet that pierces the silence, slippery cut-ups darting back and forth in the background, tropical percussion gets us on our feet..."- Foggy Notions
"Contender for Iish album of the year? You betcha... one of the most diverse and eclectic Irish albums of recent memory.. an ambitious album which takes in jump-up electronica, indie-pop belters, hip hop workouts with dabbles of ambient and heavier rock sounds." - Nialler9.com (Irish music blog of the year)
"The Kildare four-pieces debut is imbued with flaky charm. Super Extra Bonus Party are always eager to push their sound into strange new directions…You’ll be smitten from the start… Marvellous." – 4/5 stars Metro
"A collection of big beat sounds and high energy electronic pop sounds with lots of dubby effects thrown in for good measure... as the band name suggests it is perfect uptempo party music." - Road Records
"They’re madder than a bag of cats but produce tunes you won’t be able to resist dancing to" Kiss Magazine
LIVE AND STUFF...
“The crew behind the best Irish album of the year so far tear it up down south… Few Irish acts have produced an album as thrilling or as unclassifiable in recent years as Super Extra Bonus Party’s self titled debut… Live, as anyone who caught the band when they supported fellow madcat mischief-makers Bonde Do Role at the end of May will know, it holds together remarkably well.” - Irish Times
"One of Ireland’s most exciting live acts- The Star
"The whole shebang hangs together remarkably well in a live setting- AU
“They have the high energy dance beats, the jangling guitars, the electro keyboards, playful electronica flourishes, big ass hip-hop beats and a Brazilian MC and ringmaster fronting proceedings giving them a distinctly suburban sound that is not of this rainy isle of ours… Their debut album could be that mix-tape with all your favourite disparate genres that you find yourself returning to when you just can’t settle on one thing” – Cork Independent
“If there’s a more infectiously energetic and eclectic band in Ireland I’ve yet to see them. Super Extra Bonus Party are relentless and sugar rush frenetic from the first second to the last.”
- InDublin Magazine
