Some Things People Have Written About Us:
Fantastically taut and tense post-hardcore - a melting pot of top notch classic influences from Fugazi to Mogwai and Don Cab.
Rock Sound
Post-hardcore so spiky it should come swaddled in cotton wool.
NME
Gallows found the limelight and a loyal following invoking the spirit of Black Flag and Minor Threat with a modern twist. On tonight's showing, there's no reason The Tupolev Ghost can't do the same with what came next.
KKKK Kerrang!
If the Tupolev Ghost fulfills the promise they currently hold, you could be looking at the leaders of the next wave of hardcore punk.
God Is In The TV Zine
The Tupolev Ghost are, collectively, a prodigious talent. The four-piece don’t need to rely on the bands of yore to drive their music forward but, like Fugazi before them, the songs twist and turn in erratic fashion, and yet somehow manage to leave an imprint in your mind. Demos often restrain and hinder a band’s sound; The Tupolev Ghost break out of these restraints and leave them a mangled wreck. Their tightly wound riffing and projected screams should propel them into the big leagues. 8/10.
Drowned In Sound
One of the most exciting new bands to come from the dark depths of Cambridge, The Tupolev Ghost are like nothing you’ve heard before. Not ploughing the same, safe furrows as all those other hyped NME-branded bands, these guys are truly original.
The Line Of Best Fit
That off-kilter mathy flow will almost certainly attract Fugazi comparisons, with a sound that harks back to the fractured later end of late eighties US underground rock - though they slot more accurately into that loose-knit UK sound shaped by the likes of Public Relations Exercise, Moleck, and Meet Me In St. Louis. UK independent rock could pretty soon have some new darlings to fawn over.
4/5 Rock Midgets
Aggressive, spikey, Shellac-meets-Fugazi rock.
NME
Sounding like throwbacks to classic era Dischord and Touch ’n’ Go, like some kind of fistfight between Shellac and Fugazi. Potent, volcanic and charged with a sinew snapping electrical atmosphere.
to andy + james: you guys fucken rocked the atlantic on sunday. we better get another taste of tupolev soon and get u guys some shows in the states. thx for the memories of calling paul mccartney a tosser and discussing the things we dont have in common with the UK. overall you guys made the hotel experience that much more fun than even last year. keep it up and keep on rocking.
