Valve driven, fuzzed up Garage madness, combined with riffs that classic rock would have killed for back in the day. The Indigos would have been the greatest band in the world back in the 60s, but unfortunately have to toil their trade against the latest set of haircuts with a cheap guitar and a topshop store-card, due to their miscalculated births in the 80s. So they stick to what they know best, hard edged, uptempo Rock n Roll, played without compromise, fear or corporate sponsorship. They are loud, they are nasty, redeemed only by a set of songs worth their weight in good times.

"The Indigos! Top Of The Pops!" Eddie Argos, Art Brut
"I thought you guys sounded fucking great!" Tristan, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
"...I caught the last few songs from The Indigos, a four-piece indie/punk band with a raucous set of songs destined for the big time. With bucket loads of charisma and good vibes, they were just what I needed to step things up a bit on a lazy Saturday afternoon." Tess Langley, BBC Birmingham
"...The Indigos produced the goods with a tight set. It seems only a matter of time before the awesome foursome, with 18 months of solid gigging under their belts, make the breakthrough they have worked so hard for." Ben Lowe, BBC Stoke & Staffordshire
"A fizzing, thrilling ride through the choppy waters of alternative pop helmed by a bubbling melody and insistent guitar hooks." Shifty Disco Singles Club
"...you hear Gang Of Four, Talking Heads and the more considered side of late seventies Punk, or mid-eighties underground American pop, or even the better side of nineties lad-rock but, they seem to effortlessly mix it all up, give it their own twist and come up trumps every time. Love it!" Kid Lightning, The Skull Club
"I'd seen them once before - a solid performance with hints of brilliance. Tonight though, they nailed it. Pure and simple. No question. 100% musical gold." The Hearing Aid
"I liked this a lot. Really catchy melodic indie with a raw edge and good lyrics. They can play well and the production isn't bad either." Jake Sims-Fielding, Capdown
"The Indigos played the Broccoli Christmas party December 2006, under the recommendation of Jag, and they so didn’t disappoint with their upfront in your face sound. It’s so good to see quality bands travel down South, play a blinding set and love every minute of it." Broccoli Music
"...tight and full of energy and they seem to be able to cut it live too..." The Promoter, Popworld Promotes
"I feel like I’ve been woken up in the middle of the night when The Indigos start playing. “Why can’t you be yourself?” screams leader Jimmy, immediately arresting my thoughts and holding them captive for the rest of the set. Someone with something to say, oh what a relief! I make a mental note to buy their records and tell my friends to do the same. Sounding part contemporary indie aka Maximo Park/Futureheads and part Nirvana, The Indigos are a cut above." Barfly Bookings
