REVIEWS: - Ryans Gig Guide- Wulfrun Gig on 7th March.. "There was a mixed bag of an audience on the table next to me were two couples, the female partners of which didn,t stop talking, except to shake their hair impromptu for sure they were more used to Take That than the acts tonight, Paradoxic, Walk Dont Walk and The Bluetones all played excellent sets, worth following up an other time, but the main focus of the evening was THE CUBANS and they were worth the attention." Read the full review here - Feb 2009- Peter J Brown aka Toxic Pete- www.toxicpete.co.uk ..'Face To Face' and 'Please Don't Start Again' is the new double 'A' single from Wolverhampton indie four-piece The Cubans; quite a surprising and pleasantly rewarding start here before things kick off and gain true indie-rock momentum - a risky opener maybe but definitely one that makes you stop and listen. Read the full review here - Ryans Gig Guide Jan 09 Issue - Review Little Civic Gig Dec 08.. "Early on it was clear to see why they are called The Cubans. The Latin feel to the music, combined with some harder guitar riffs was a unique sound base which instantly draws you to them." "Many bands brag to love what they do, but few prove it so intensely. This band is not to be missed!"

The Cubans- .."have become known for the edgy mix of indie,rock and ska" Click here to read more - Ryans Gig Guide -Oct 2010 "This is one of the bands that actually surprises you. Very refreshing. Dont be fooled on the first listen, these dudes are very alternative but if you listen to the first 30 seconds of each song you,ll not get them, Its all in the bridge, I think these guys are masters of the art of bridge sections, "Scatter" is a perfect example, a great song which starts off mainstream but then has the ultimate grunge middle section which turns the song into a powerful piece of work. They do this so well live too, THE CUBANS Have to be heard all the way through to be understood, if you get these guys you,ll love them. Nick .J.Townsend - Ryans Gig Guide.
