Influences
Sounds Like	"Very much our track of the week!" -Alex Zane --------------------- "[This Heart's Built To Break] is a classic anthem" -Tom Robinson, BBC6 --------------------- "We opened with a brilliant song from The Scholars" [Turbulence] "Smashing song! I loved that!" [Blood Runs Blue] -Tim Bearder & Dave Gilyeat, BBC Oxford Introducing --------------------- "Things picked up a good deal with headliners The Scholars. They have some excellent, singalong tunes and a couple of strong songs brought the set to a pleasing end." -Colin MacKinnon, Oxfordbands.com --------------------- Energetic and pitch-perfect with great wall-of-sound moments and some inspired arrangements. -Gill Duckett, Birmingham Live! --------------------- "this band is really churning out some quality tunes and are surely one to watch." -Nick, NME Europe --------------------- "The Scholars dominated the crowds of Clifton Sessions with an enthusiasm not seen before. Original, energetic and above all contagious" -Pav Dhande, Clifton Sessions --------------------- "My favourite band of the night. Tight. Catchy Hooks. Epic set!" "One Question; Are you guys signed?...You should be." - Chichester Battle of The Bands Judges --------------------- "A polished and accomplished performance from a young band who looked extremely comfortable despite being around for only a couple of years." - Sean Wright --------------------- "This band has accomplished so much in such a short time it is hard to know where to begin…" - Music In The Market 2009 --------------------- "The Scholars are a band with a great future" - Mike Whitby, Birmingham City Council
