"85 Bears churn grooves through copious time signatures, all looping crescendo's and tight drum blasts they tastefully slide guitar patterns back with a subtle ear, with the tunes to prove that maths can indeed be fun." - (Jamie Scott - The Skinny magazine)
"Wordless disjointed noise-rock, rattling with thundering bass that Thor would be proud of, is both maddening and utterly captivating."
(Heather Crumley- The Fly.co.uk)
"85 Bears - VERY cool band!" -(Geordi La Force )
"The sound sounds far greater than that of a three-piece, crashing and peaking and slumbering over and over; there’s truly intricate interplay at the heart of their sound, and their post-rock is truly one to latch onto." -(Natalie Shaw - Muso's Guide)
"Part noise; part prog; part math ; all balls" - (Slanted and Enchanted)
"85 Bears are a purely instrumental act combining simple rock beats with intricate and haunting tunes, which makes them utterly inimitable by any other act at the festival. 85 Bears are fantastically loud, and amazing at creating an epic display of sheer musical talent." - (Susan Ford - music-news.com)
