"Flying high on a battery of electrocuted riffs and flayed-raw adrenaline, frontmen Glen and Kit make for a deliciously attitude-free musical thrill…" Kerrang!
"With 'In The City' and pile driving new single 'Loss', The Sound Ex have once again staked a claim to being this country's finest exponents of the Garage Rock Genre". "There are 3 more bands .. The Sound Ex – but it isn't worth hanging around to see them. There's just no point at all really" Classic Rock - Live review
"Whoa! Turn up the volume! The Sound Explosion you suspect, would lay down their lives for rock and roll…" Steve Lamacq, Radio 1
"A hurricane of scratchy blues, screams and squealing solos whipped up by an intense foursome who thrash around the stage all clenched teeth, unkempt locks and flailing limbs…" Kerrang!, live review
"…The Sound Explosion are the most exciting live band on the planet today. A whirlwind of crotch thrusts, wind milling guitar playing, star jumps and head banging fervour on stage, it was a nail-biting worry that they wouldn't be able to transfer their ferocious sound onto disc. This worry has proved unfounded. An awesome debut." Classic Rock
"Skinny white boys with long hair and loud guitars – hardly a new formula, but when Sound Explosion shiver, shake and sweat out their apocalyptic vision of what rock, blues and soul SHOULD sound like, it suddenly doesn't matter...." Kerrang!
"The Sound Explosion's blues-rock is clearly derivative but these Geordies sprinkle enough modern youthful enthusiasm into their performance to make them real contenders. They rock…" Rock Sound
"Armed with swagger, high octane energy and steeped in rock & roll, the Sound Explosion are a killer teenage power quartet who know that the only truth left in rock & roll is getting out there and playing the damn stuff..." - John Robb Playlouder
"If Jimi Hendrix, Jack White and Jon Spencer had a three-way, The Sound Explosion might just be the offspring. ..." Drownedinsound.com
“So many bands have dishonestly claimed to be the living breathing embodiment of revolutionary rock n roll that its genuinely unnerving to find one that really is” Kerrang! (KKKK)
"Next year will undoubtedly be theirs for the taking" Rocksound
