. "ThisCity’s boisterous, sharply executed, poppy post-hardcore is breathless and catchy".
Rival Schools support review, Kerrang! Magazine, July 2008.
"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), June 2008
"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, March 2008
"ThisCity are picking up where Test-Icicles and At The Drive In left off with a brand of screamo that has a melody. GOSH!"
- Loud And Quiet January 2008
"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!), ThisCity: Kids With Fireworks single Review for Music Week, January 2008
"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 August 2007
"Imagine, if you can stretch the outer reaches of your mind to conjure up such inconceivable notions, that The Automatic were a decent band rather than a bunch of grating one-tune wonders. Imagine that their idea of taking the key elements of hardcore and lashing them to strong melodies and singalong choruses had actually worked rather than become more irritating than herpes. You are imagining This City. Like The Blood Brothers younger, er, brothers"
- Kelvin Goodson, frinkmusic.com August 2007
"This City can't fail"
- Paul Lester, The Guardian August 2007
"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 February 2007
"Bloc Party + At The Drive-In x Twofold = The jerky indie hardcore of Brighton's ThisCity".
- Gravity Dip Promoters, January 2007
"ThisCity play the most infectious songs around"
- RaveMagazine (Queensland, Australia), December 2006
"We like it very much indeed!/ a brilliant band"
- Huw Stephens, Radio 1, October 2006/February 2007
"ThisCity will blow you away!"
- Rock Sound Magazine August 2006
"tighter than their own skinny-fit jeans"
- powpowpow.com August 2006
"Like a phoenix from the ashes of Brighton's cream of hardcore come This City, punky-disco indie with oh-so hardcore leanings, like The Travelling Wilburys if it was made of members of Bloc Party and At The Drive In. Not To Be Missed!!!"
- Touch Me I’m Sick (Brighton club), July 2006
