"Last on the bill, and performance of the night, went to The Words. For those of you who have not seen this band before I suggest you do everything you can to see them live, they had the audience in the palm of their hand from the opening guitar riff to the final chord they played." Designed by Unsigned
"producing some of the best Mancunian feel good tunes since James told everyone to Sit Down. Good on ‘em" Joe Barton @ NARC Media
"With a fantastic charismatic front-man who bore some (loose) similarities to Sean Rider and threw himself into the songs with guts and gusto, the band clearly have a connection and the tunes to compete with any of their contemporaries." Emma Phillipson @ Surface Unsigned
"they have a sense of originality about them that is reminiscent of the Kings of Leon and Franz Ferdinand." My Brum TV
"With easy melodies and openly accessible 'words', The Words dish out their catchy 'chunes' with well proportioned but pretty sassy aggression that make their songs undeniably singalongable." Toxic Pete
".... it is such a rare sight to see a singer deliver so fascinatingly in the live arena."
Matt Barnes @ Manchester is Music
"Amazingly catchy tunes and solid drum work .....made this band one of the tightest I have seen..."
John @ Leaf Promotions
".... infectious melodies that have you singing along after just a few listens..."
Kim Etheridge @ Manchester is Music
"……tight as a unit and fully equipped with 70’s style harmonies, modern drum parts, catchy choruses and instrumentals……"
Nathan Davies-Burke - Live @ The Lowes
"Amazingly catchy tunes and solid drum work combined with surprisingly sit-up-and-take-notice vocals made this band one of the tightest I have seen..." Leaf Promotions
The Words are a musical friendship who have caused a stir in their own city of Manchester and across the country with their catchy melodical 'Music for the masses'. Clocking up over 250 gigs in 18 months across Britain they have evolved into a phenomenal live act with praise & support coming from the public, promoters, peers, press, and celebrity fans alike - With tours of Scotland & Ireland lined up for the back end of the year and Europe from Feb 2010 these boys are destined for BIG things!!

Hiya, I'm good cheers, How're you? Your gig at Moho on saturday was brilliant by the way. I thought you were really really good, I didn't expect it. I think 'Caroline' is a excellent song.
