LUVIN IT! AT THE SINGLE LAUNCH PARTY

'Sounding like a brit-pop Strokes with angular electric guitar and tinny laidback vocals, ‘Audio’ by Brighton’s The Splendour is actually a pop-gem in disguise, produced by Kasabian knob-twiddler Dan Swift.
The Splendour are being hailed as the new Kaiser Chiefs – but first impressions suggest they’re better than that.'
Ryan Daff
Noisemakesenemies.co.uk

'After a few listens to this single you become a real fan of the band. It’s not slow based indie laced with meaning, and it’s not something that you’re going to dance to all night. Yet The Splendour show raw talent and have taken a Franz Ferdinand style but perfected it. Top single and great b side track to accompany. Go and buy upon release!'
Tom Crowther

'It would be easy to hate The Splendour just for hate’s sake but ‘Audio’ is just too damn catchy. It is a cocky little Brit-pop bastard with a killer sugar rush chorus.'
new-noise.net

3 WEEKS RUNNING ON KERRANG! RADIO

'These lads come hurtling out the starting gates brandishing guitar pop jammed with melody and zest...
spikily euphoric...executed in a form Madness would have been proud to call their own'
Thomas H. Green
(Q Magazine, Telegraph)

'These babys blister is in all the right places...

a boot stomping slice of jagged and jarring beat pop...searing slice of honed to perfection stripped to the core edgy psychosis.
Stunning in a word.'
Losingtoday.com

'...this tune is as dreamy as it is infectious...gloriously unashamed indie-rock stomper...
