Here's what they think of us....



The Detours are natural born performers, their edgy guitar driven sound is infectious. I was hooked after hearing "Make My Day" well all I can say is they certainly made mine.. Thanks for performing on Sound Of Excellence - London. Come back again soon!

Samantha Crompton (Excellence Records)

“...If you can bottle energy from a band, The Detour’s charisma and infectious stage presence would outsell Red Bull... They deliver every ounce of excitement in their music... every chance of being the next Scot Rock export..."

Chris Grayston - Head of A&R at Future Music


"...an exuberant performance at the Finals of Live and Unsigned...the Un part will soon be a thing of the past..."

Annie Nightingale - Radio 1


"...punk fuelled metal with one heck of a hook... After I heard it live I was gagging to play it on the radio..."

Jim Gellatly - Xfm Radio


"...without a doubt one of the most exciting bands on the scene just now...Bull Rider showcases the bands ability to play high tempo rock..." 4 Stars

James Watt - Evening Times


"...there is a place on Kerrang TV for the band..."

Grant Nicholas - Feeder


"...The Detours are like a tin of Ronseal, they do exactly what it says on the tin..."

Simon Gavin - Universal Records


"...they infuse energy and refreshed hard metal music...Bull Rider is exciting, catchy and sounds great on the radio..."

Amy Brown - GK Radio Presenter


"...Here is a unique talent unlike anything on the music scene right now...In a word they are brilliant, just Brilliant..."
