| Here's some nice stuff people have said about us : )
"How cute is too cute? How nice is too nice? These are serious ethical questions asked by the three social scientists (combined age: 61) named after nature's tidiest hivers. The questions are phrased as lo-fi indie pop - voice, guitar and synth songs classified as solids ('My Kaleidoscope'), liquids ('Internal World') or gas ('Fluffy Clouds Of Joy'). The songs are composed from the insides of brightly-coloured children's rides, for empiric reasons."
-PLAN B
"The Bumblebees is probably one of my new favourite bands, and they earned the title after just one single release. "Bumblebees EP" is a self-released little thing with SO much charm and this is the perfect medicine on a bad day. One listen to The Bumblebees and you are cured!
It's obvious that the trio enjoys playing together, and this has a great impact on my enjoyment of the music. The melodies are ace and the band also seem to work a lot on the rhythmic parts of the music. It's easy both to sing and move around to these songs. You can order the EP through The Bumblebees myspace, and please do, – you won't regret it!"
-EARDRUMS MUSIC
"The Bumblebees are a darker and richer confection than any thousand of the usual suspects could manage...The Bumblebees are fucking lovely and define 'indie' in a very good way."
-UNPEELED
"The Bumblebees make great simple pop music. Like Thomas Tantrum and Cheeky Cheeky and The Nosebleeds they have Smiths influenced guitar lines. They also have charm and subtle finesse. "Fluffy Clouds Of Joy" will certainly find itself being put in between "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5 and Foals on indie house-party mix tapes over the next few months. Their recently released EP contains enough hum-along moments to entice the most hard nosed indie extremist into submission."
-XOX
"The Bumblebees are three girls and boys from Bristol, they all sing, they play infectious new wave kaleidoscope synths, scratchy busy flitty guitars and clever bass. Infectious pop songs and they sound like a band that's called The Bumblebees should sound – all flowers and sunshine and black and gold stripes and buzz buzz honey-good. And their very existence is all part of the plan to pollinate your ears with the joy of their other-pop and their clever simplicity and innocent goodness. Kind of sharp-cut lo-fi new wave pop clarity and Vision On creativity and X and Y enjoyment and musical chemicals that will tell you that your chromosomes are happy. Four catchy songs for your brain and how it works, and nothing that will ever let you down, we like these Bumblebees."
-ORGAN MAGAZINE
"The Bumblebees are tons of fun in the same way that making your own Lemonade is, and with the similar qualities of sweetness masking sharpness."
-ANEWBANDADAY.COM
"Yep, they're a bit pop and a bit twee, but it's not all honey-coated - there's a sting in their pop tail (the bee puns end here I promise please keep reading). Full to the brim with party pop wonder, they share Bearsuit's knack for writing tunes that are at once comforting and familiar yet full of surprises - like a blanket filled with tiger cubs. You'll love them."
-OMG! MANCHESTER
"Our new favourite band!"
-SPIRAL SCRATCH
"The Bumblebees are a bunch of youngsters from Bristol who make an old man feel even older."
-INDIE-MP3
"Indiepop's big find of 2009! A supercute Bristol three-piece with the best candyfloss tunes and the biggest grins. Brilliantly inventive and totally irresistible."
-SPARKLEMOTION
"There is a band in Bristol that has it all. Ellis, Roz and Bert are Bumblebees that have given me many joys in recent days."
