Some Things People Have Written About Us:


The relentlessness of Shellac.....it all comes together in a live set that's worthy of the vast array of influences who have shaped and moulded this band. Yet they're far more than just a tribute to those disparate parts - The Tupolev Ghost are their own brand of their own time!

KKKKK - Kerrang!


It’s hard to locate a reason as to why this lot shouldn’t gain nationwide acclaim as the likes of Hell Is For Heroes did before them.

8/10 - Rock Sound


The Tupolev Ghost truly signals the arrival of the next potentially huge UK post-hardcore act...Hands down one of the best British releases of the year so far.

4/5 - Rock Midgets


If the Tupolev Ghost fulfills the promise they currently hold, you could be looking at the leaders of the next wave of hardcore punk.

4/5 - God Is In The TV


A diatribe of ferocious and blistering angular hardcore, arguably some of the best being made in the UK today.

8/10 - Die Shellsuit, Die!


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


Make no mistake, The Tupolev Ghost are the diamond in the crown of the current underground music scene.

4/5 - Alter The Press!


Where the band is most successful is their ability to meld the wild-eyed abandon and cathartic noise with a precision-tooled pop nous.....Hugely promising stuff.

8/10 - AU Magazine


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.
