"Catchy songs were thrown at the crowd with full-on hyperactive energy, making them one of the highlights of the night.”
Sandman Magazine

"The Resplendents are a rare thing these days - an eight piece gospel, lounge and soul band. Combining the raw energy of Ike and Tina with the laid back vibe of Otis Redding, it makes a nice treat from the usual brand of Libertines wannabes."
The Big Issue

"At times the cockpit is transformed into a gospel revival meeting with arms reaching high. Alex roams the stage like a preacher, his powerful and soulful voice belting straight from the heavens, he has the congregation in rapture."
No Title Magazine

“Alex Resplendent (possibly not real name) belts out tunes of love and hate (mainly hate, usually divorce) over super tight Memphis/Motown/Dexy's backing.”
Vibrations Magazine

"The Resplendents are an eight-piece gospel juggernaut, probably invented with the concept of Unity in mind. To put it in perspective consider it Motown from Moortown. They kick out feel-good wholesome, groove-laden jams and for the first time in months it feels like summer has actually arrived."
No-Title Magazine

“Band of the night, however, must surely be The Resplendents. Although the billing of this gig is equal, from the minute The Resplendents take the stage with their saxophone-aided jazziness, they feel like the headline band.”
Sandman Magazine

" The Resplendents have a feel good soulful vibe that seems to be inescapably infectious…. made for listening to whilst sipping rum and cokes in the sunshine"
No-Title Magazine
