"These monsters are simply amazing, the four-piece make blunderbuss's of songs that would give Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mogwai nightmares. A vicious, energetic and loud-enough-to-be-pornographic live show."
- Sandman Magazine

"These Monsters are certainly becoming an increasingly fearsome and excruciatingly impressive live prospect. During the middle of the set I take a casual glance around the packed room to notice that not one person is talking, all eyes on the band and all jaws on the floor."
- Leedsmusicscene.net

"Time has frozen as witnesses halt in their tracks, intoxicated by the heady miasma of post-rock resonance, both comforting and devastating."
- The Fly Magazine

"They look like a bunch of very talented tramps."
- Contact Music

"They look like they've come in off the street after a three day bender, complete with questionable fashion accessories, headbands for pity's sake! These Monsters definitely have it in the riffs, simply phenomenal!"
- BBC Raw Talent

"These Monsters 'Fleets Of Black Hovercraft Anchored In Space' is without question an epic, truly gargantuan, the soundtrack to an as yet unscripted scifi movie."
- Tasty Fanzine

"I was left mesmerised, their set resembled a mystical journey through time and space. With their enchanting, almost obnoxiously heavy songs the room begins to resemble a cult worshipping the screaming guitars."
- No Title Magazine

"They were nicely loud and played as if in ritual combat! Each instrument was audible, each idea was planned and executed with style and the whole audience had a damn good time. It was my first encounter and I was hugely impressed."
- Whisperin & Hollerin

"One of the most interesting and engaging acts I’ve heard from the UK in a long fucking time – no word of a lie."
- Collective-zine

Album of the Week
– Organ Magazine

"If These Monsters can pull together a debut album with anything close to the vision, ideas and musicianship as this EP they will definitely become the U.K's answer to Explosions in the Sky."
- The Silent Ballet

"Over and over These Monsters deliver a crashing landscape of deft intensity and unparalleled creativity. Few are as stunning or ambitious as These Monsters, I'm hard pressed to align These Monsters with another UK band because frankly there aren't any other UK artists I've heard doing anything remotely similar."
- Decoy Music

   About These Monsters
“Their sound appeals to mind and body simultaneously. The intensity, tempo and the sheer volume of their frantic performance is a physical sensation. With the deftness of melodic shifts, the delicate control and the casually brilliant assimilation of saxophone the band’s voice says a big HELLO to the mental and critical faculties. No dumbass stoners here and no pointless excursion to the Land of Twee as a means to make the crescendos stand up. These Monsters start big and loud, and get worse. Much worse.”
- Sam Saunders at Leeds Festival 2008

ANNABEL LEE



It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.



I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love-

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.



And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.



The angels, not half so happy in heaven,

Went envying her and me-

Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.



But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we-

Of many far wiser than we-

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.



For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,

In the sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea.



Edgar Allan Poe

Listening to those taster tracks. They are absolutely hypnotizing :D. Really so psyched for Call Me Dragon's release next year. I just bought you're Vinyl EP as well so looking forward to that arriving in the post......

Just a quick question I know it says your cd ep sold out but do you have any idea of anywhere thats selling it second hand? I checked all the usual spots on the net but haven't found anything and being a mad completist any ideas of where to find it would be a great help I'm happy to part with quite a bit of money for it.

Really love your sound. It's a rare thing these days to find a band with any vague sense of originality but you guys are truly unique.

Any guestimated date for Call Me Dragon ? I'm really looking forward to it.
