'Impressive debut' 4/5- (Guitarist Magazine)

'An amalgamation of blues, soul, garage, free jazz and psychedelia... A truly wonderful album and a highlight of the year so far' - (Artrocker)

'If you like your rock'n'roll primal and pounding, and your vocals gritty and growly, then meet Liverpool's answer to the Magic Band' – (The Guardian)

“Mind-warpin’ mutated blues. Don’t let it pass you by.” (Shindig)

“Brilliantly unhinged blues-rock.” (The Fly)

'A trembling and yet raucous collection of songs... Think Tom Waits mixed with Detroit Cobras into the heady cocktail. Lovely stuff.' 4/5- (Big Cheese Mag)

'Out of tune guitars clang and the bass and drums shuffle just right enough to raise the ghost of Willie Dixon, track down Captain Beefheart circa Safe As Milk and have a chat wtih The La's. And the singers raspy vocal might just shatter your lightbulbs' - (Mojo)

'The key difference between The Cubical and the other thousand odd Beefheart / Waits acolytes, is that they actually pull off this primal, experimental form of rock 'n' roll with considerable poise' - (Drowned in Sound)

'an easy album to get into first time round, full of melodic songs with driving rhythms' 4/5- (Music OMH)

"Wilson makes Waits sound like Tiny Tim" (The Guardian)

'Dirty, gritty, rock 'n' roll blues... I am sold. Pour me a whiskey and prop me against the bar' 11/13- (Room Thirteen)

"The rumble of Great White Lie is enough to make a listener fear divine retribution, hide the children and close the curtains." (spin magazine)

"Full of snotty bad attitude, Come Sing These Crippled Tunes evokes the era of the Troggs, Animals, Yardbirds, Pretty Things, 13th Floor Elevators and Seeds, recreating the vibe of the legendary Nuggets compilations for a new generation." (Bearded Magazine)

"Tracks like 'Woman, I Need Your Love So Bad' and 'Baby Don't Treat Me Bad' sound like they could eat the 22-20s for breakfast.'Come Sing These Crippled Tunes' with them and, oh Lordy, you'll soon be a believer." 4/5 (Whisperin' and Hollerin')

'an intentionally rough and ready album' 4/5- (Blues Matters)

“How Wilson is able to manipulate his half-enraged, half-deranged tone is what brings The Cubical’s debut, Come Sing These Crippled Tunes, to great heights." (Obscure Sound)

“I am not going to beat around the bush here, The Cubical’s new album, ‘Come Sing These Crippled Tunes’ is nothing short of fantastic. From the first track right through to the last it never loses any of the excitement that the band seem to carry around with them in abundance." (The Daily Scoundrel)

"Growling psyched out blues from this ace outfit from Liverpool which brings together a mighty fine line up of musicians, pouring some golden lush licks over a gravelly helping of growl..Yep, this is a damn good album. " (Jumbo Records)

"The Cubical might just be the band to drag Liverpool's music scene kicking and screaming in a new direction." (Liverpool Echo)

“Ace bluestastic rock n roll with a great 60s garage vibe. Think Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with Captain Beefheart on vocal doing Seeds hits. Yep it's got that kinda righteous swagger! Very recommended.” (Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation)

"One of the best albums I've heard this year, & the most impressive 1st album for me since the View a couple of years back.” (MUDKISS)

"The guitars, drums, harmonica and, especially, the dirty, grinding lead vocals and excellent harmonies all display an authenticity that other retro acts just cannot touch." (Culture Deluxe)

"Bluesy, nasty, tribal, and completely refreshing. TOM WAITS better look over his shoulder......" (futuresounds.com)

"Live they're just something else, a real-deal voodoo rock 'n' roll medicine show." (electricroulette.com)

"This is psychedelic mutant garage blues which sounds as if Howlin’ Wolf had taken a particularly nasty acid tab, while the vocals would put Tom Waits to shame. " (windmillbrixton.com)

"THE CUBICAL are a twangy assault of growling, whisky fuelled post-Doors drunkenness." (Manchestermusic.com)

"Demented surf rock meets jazz" (burnout magazine)

"It's kind of like if The Ventures, Iggy Pop, Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, Tom Waits, Howlin' Wolf, had a lovechild that was born in the 60s brittish invasion." (Christian Guitar Forum)
