"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
Enjoyed the Solfest set even though the wind was doing it's best to disrupt things. Wouldn't have really checked you out if I'd not earlier ran into Paul and Linda (Adams) Cheers Sean

Alan here.
Packing me boots, stringing me guitars and getting ready for the next two weeks. Don't be frightened to shout out any songs off the album you want to hear and don't forget the crazier you are the crazier we are.
Look forward to seeing you in the asylum at the end of the tour.
Hello
Thanks so much for your friendship it’s a real pleasure for me- I am very impressed by your profile – wow really amazing stuff. Currently I am pretty excited as I have just now released my first solo double album “An Ocean Of Dreams”. It would be a real honour and pleasure for me if you could give it a listen and if you have some time leave me a comment with your thoughts about my baby.
I say thanks in advance and wish you a beautiful day
