"A Joy Division-esque dark and fuzzy exploration of alternative music. A lot of people won't like them - but they can go hang, as they obviously have no taste. Stabbing bass, howling guitar, and gunshot drums team up to make NOISE, and thoroughly enjoyable it is too. Long may they continue in the same vein." - Diary of a Silver-Footed Gig Slut
"Skeleton Cartel unleash dark, sleazy postpunk/rock and are a pretty interesting prospect." - Adam Moffatt, Redbrick Review
"The Skeleton Cartel from Birmingham - they have a great name that makes you think of those cool Sinbad films and drugs, and lo, they play dirty psychobilly / shoegazey noise that'll fill your boots." - playlouder.com
"Noisy pop informed by sound terrorists such as Big Black, Sonic Youth, ...Trail Of Dead, Melt-Banana and Royal Trux." - Drowned in Sound
"The Skeleton Cartel (Joy Division gone a lot rockier. I’ve heard both very good and very bad things about their live performances)" - Russ L
Not too late to get advance tickets for my shows coming up - including two tickets for £5 for my Birmingham gig (3 Nov). And remember I'm playing with Ebb at the ICA in London (9 Nov) - this is a very special performance and it would be great to see you there. /MaJiKer
