"Gigantic choruses are offset by jumpy guitar lines, hook-line-and-sinker melodies and a youthful, tuneful charm, topped off with a certain interwoven sincerity. This will leave power-pop enthusiasts hungry for more" -Rocksound
"The Auteur have crafted their songwriting machine and come back with a stunning EP" -Punktastic
"...straight-forward balls-to-the-wall set of excellent pop-punk songs" -RockMidgets.com
"The Auteur prove that guitar-based powerpop can be done better than their American counterparts. Full of the rich pop undertone the band do so well, they have so much energy and potential" -AlterThePress
"...loud, energetic and technically faultless" - The Fly
"‘Nightcap’ is an absolute joy to listen to. From the opening track 'Nice Hair, Nice Face' you get a sense of the power this group can pack into one pop punk song" -Daily Dischord
"Four very gifted musicians that create songs you could listen to all day long. Riddled with guitar hooks, the occasional electro-nudge and the rare softer melodious stroke, ‘Nightcap’ is a must have EP” - RoomThirteen.com
"They have something special about them: each of these tracks could be your song of Summer 09" - Chasing Safety
“Solid, energetic and well-played,” - Music-News.com
"Upbeat and catchy from start to finish. The perfect mix of songs for the Summer" - AllGigs.co.uk

Wow! It's been a long time since a news update (as always!). So here's the scoop.
We've had THE BEST summer! We couldn't have asked for better opportunities to have come our way and with more exciting news to come, we're all so excited. Thank you to everyone that watched us at Sound City, Slam Dunk, Download, T in The Park & Underage Festival. Those were some amazing shows to be put on and we all had SUCH an amazing time. Having been a band for just under 2 years, we feel honoured to have been asked to play them. We'd also like to thank Not Advised for choosing to take us out on the road for a few shows. But for now, our summer of gigs is done as we all need to get on with writing new material! That's right, we're gonna have a batch of new songs ready for you to really show off what we can do. We won't let you down and and we'll make the wait worth it ;) We should be back on the road by November time (hopefully with some new songs to play). Just keep yourself posted for more updates with everything. Thanks again to everyone that continues to support us in what we do and we'll keep doing it as long as you're still there with us ;). For now, make sure you buy a copy of our EP from the link below! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Hey! Been quite a while since we've updated this so I thought now should be the time. Our debut EP 'Nightcap' is released today so if you haven't had a chance to pre-order it, its now on lots of online stores and Itunes (check the links at the top of the page) so what you waiting for!
We'd also like to thank anyone who supported us at Download, we had an awesome time and would love to come back next year. If you didn't see Limp Bizkit or Slipknot then I'm afraid you really missed out. But thats not the last of our festival appearances; anyone going to T In The Park or Underage Festival in London might want to note that we are on those bills. It'd be awesome so see some friendly faces there. I think thats it for now, for more consistent updates, add us on our Twitter accounts which are located to the left of this page. I'm off to go eat some food and play Xbox

Tour is DONE! and it was amazing! Out Of Sight and Lights & Sounds are our BESTEST friends. The nicest boys you'll ever meet and every show was unreal. We can't thank everyone that came out to one enough for standing there and watching us play and anyone that purchased a t-shirt or an EP from our merch stand. We're quite sad it's over. But we got loads more to look forward to. Great Escape! Slam Dunk Festival! LAB Tour, it's all happening! We've now launched the pre-ordering of our EP as you may see at the top of the page. For a limited time, we're giving you the opportunity to be in with a chance of winning free entry to the Slam Dunk Festival when you pre-order the EP from the LABstore.
