WHAT THEY'VE SAID ABOUT US:

"A f****ing fine piece of ass… pop genius" – Playlouder

"Priceless!" - Steve Lamacq

"one of the GRATEST Live Acts currently available!" - MJ Hibbett

“It’s said that, seconds before you die, your whole life flashes before your eyes. The Fighting Cocks are the aural equivalent, a lifetime of music, cinema and cartoon samples clashing inside your ears, all set dancing to gabba, ragga and doo-wop beats, and topped out with sassy girl vocals and male snarls” -A Life Less Literary

“They are the future!” - Raj King, Sunrise Radio

“Electro gypsy punk anthems fronted by a revolving cast of glamorous vixens, complete with slinky choreography and brutal guitar assault. If Russ Meyer were still around, he’d be directing their music videos” - The Dragon’s Ball

“The most kick-ass live band in Europe” – Guitar Magazine

"... an incredibly well-executed piece of musical rebellion; somewhere between complete insanity and total genius, The Fighting Cocks succeed where so many others fail" - Subba-Cultcha Magazine

"Aggressive, cynical and knowingly shambolic...The Cocks infiltrate the space between Daphne & Celeste and Limp Bizkit" - NME

"Their mix of punk, electro and just about every other genre they can find to sample is utterly unique and completely brilliant. There are no bands like The Fighting Cocks, partly because no one else has the balls to be like them and partly because no one else would be able to pull it off. Don't believe me? Just head over to their MySpace page and download 'Love Somebody, Yes I Do' and then tell me they aren't geniuses. It's a song so perfectly pop that they had to insert swearing in the middle to stop it from getting radio play." - CMU Daily

"Careering all over the line separating genius and lunacy" - *** Q Magazine

“The Corrs you can’t take home to Mum” - The Guardian

"A Balkan gypsy tune turns into a ska fest, The Cramps dance with Glenn Miller, speed metal drum and bass thunders, showtunes twinkle, Turkish drums delight... What more does one want to start the day? The Fighting Cocks deliver where other bands using ethnic influences stay a bit samey and others simply fail to combine good fun with credible rock’n roll rebellion. It’s all so extremely well executed that I simply can’t wait for a chance to see this band from Essex do it live. Shakira’s vengeful sisters supply ‘vocals and choreography’. I want to see more!" - Billie Ray Martin

“How the Go-Team would've sounded if they'd spent their time behind the bike sheds rather than in school” - Nambucca

“Couldn’t play their way out of a paper bag” -Oxford Daily Information

“Remember the end of Blazing Saddles? When the big cowboy punch-up finale spills over into the studio next door where a load of tap-dancing top hatters join in on the fight? Well this sounds like the soundtrack; except also with rockabilly badasses, cockney rude boys, a Romanian wedding and day-glo ravers in on the punch-up - all curated by a particularly manic and sleazy special edition of Eurotrash.” -The Skinny

"... the 5,6,7,8's meets Jilted John, with surfer riffs, rockabilly, old skool hip hop scratching and an underlying wit that could curdle milk. The kind of band you'd love to hang out with, and you'd be dead in a week mind you" -Daily Star

"If the UK was ever looking for a band to write a new National Anthem The Fighting Cocks would be the dream choice. Stand by the side of a busy road in any inner city area, record all of the different music blaring out of the cars that go past, mix it all up and, eventually, you'd have the perfect Fighting Cocks track. It's 2008 in musical form. It's the end of the world as we know it." -The Hearing Aid

Draygo's Guilt Myspace...
'Trust Me...' - the new album from Draygo's Guilt will be available for download from www.draygosguilt.com on 12th October. We're making it free because we'd like you to have it and to pass it on to someone else.

Some of our kinder recent reviews...
"Too dark and totally unsignable" - major label a&r scout

Draygo's Guilt play live throughout 2009, particularly our Christmas party at Alan McGee's 'Greasy Lips' on December 5th where we are giving away pressed copies of the album with every ticket.

We hope you enjoy the songs. Much love, dg x
