"You guys were a great opening act, thanks for 'not sucking!' Really it was nice to have a somewhat local band on the show and from checking your page it seems like it was a good fit!"
Taking Back Sunday, August 2008
"ThisCity’s boisterous, sharply executed, poppy post-hardcore is breathless and catchy".
Rival Schools support review, Kerrang! Magazine
"Raw, relentlessly energetic and with one of the most distinctive vocalists in the UK, This City splice indie, pop,
hardcore and dance punk into an irresistible package".
Huw Stephens (The Lake Stage presents BBC Introducing)
"Never has mainstream indie in the UK sounded so utterly bleak and pretentious. Which is why a band like ThisCity
are so vital to the lifeblood of our music scene. Their Myspace page describes them as "indie/hardcore/pop" and
this is scarily accurate. Raw like early-days Biffy Clyro on former Club Fandango-released single 'Romantic', Bloc
Party with a more aggro side on 'With Loaded Guns', not to mention the balls-to-the-wall angular rock of current
single 'Kids With Fireworks'. Forget all the drab Pigeon Detective/The Enemy/One Night Only bollocks that our towns
are spewing forth; ThisCity are one of the bands we need gracing the covers of our magazines and taking over the
airwaves".

ThisCity ‘Kids With Fireworks’ : This record does what it says on the tin – the relentlessly energetic ThisCity
sound exactly like kids with fireworks. And the Brighton quintet may be shouty but there’s an underlying anthemic
quality to their music that makes them an indie/hardcore crossover act (At The Drive In meets The Automatic) to
recommend".
Johnny K, The Fly Magazine
"Suburban lives crammed into three and half minutes of sharp, disco-punk, this is a track that promises great
things from the Brighton five-piece. A combination of At The Drive-In’s fire, Les Savvy Fav’s angular attack and
The Automatic’s knack for an action-packed tune, 2008 could be their year".
Tom Bryant (Kerrang!), Music Week
"ThisCity sound a bit like Bloc Party if they lightened up... Scratch deeper and you'll find a battle for their
soul between Talking Heads and At The Drive-In"
Dan Martin , NME
"This City can't fail"
Paul Lester, The Guardian
"Their Indie guitars and disco-pop choruses swim along happily, only broken by stormy yelps or jagged riffs
reminiscent of welsh rockers The Automatic".
Rock Sound Magazine
"We like it very much indeed!/ a brilliant band"
Huw Stephens, Radio 1
"ThisCity will blow you away!"
