Reviews:
Concorde 21st anniversary:
"...Local New wave disco outfit Transformer topped off the live music entertainment for the night. Their sound is a liquefied jumble of electro keyboards, fizzy synths and post punk guitar riffs, with clear vocals cutting through.
If you like Hot chip you’ll love these guys, future disco heroes in the making."
Jess Hamil, BrightonMusicScene
Loop Festival 2007 "...today's entertainment begins, for Yahoo! Music anyway, in the capable hands of Transformer. The likes of "Coconut" and "Cinema Car" use an agitated singer, rubber synth loops, hypnotic bass lines, !!!-esque repetitive post-punk guitar attacks and an even a trumpet to get this party started."
Ben Gilbert, Yahoo! Music

"Transformer aren't just one of the best dance bands in Brighton, they are one of the best in the country, filtering post-punk New York quirkiness through the sons-of-Daft Punk french electro scene..""
James Kendall- Source Mag 05/07
"Transformer are playing to a packed out room at The Hope. The singer bears an uncanny semblance to that of Talking Heads era David Byrne and you could easily imagine them being on a label like DFA. Funky bass lines collide head on with rhythms that instantly make you want to move your feet." Nathan Westley-ArtRocker

Brighton’s Autumn Chorus are a thing of wonder to behold. Huge beautiful tunes that shimmer along their course across the most mind expanding terrain. Plus, their drummer drums for Diagonal too - BLAM! (www.myspace.com/autumnchorus)
London’s Kontakte draw from all sides of the sonic spectrum fusing together deep passions for Post - Drone - Space and Krautrock. The bands love for distorted beats, transience and star-scraping melodies informs them on their quest to create music of depth, space and intensity (www.myspace.com/kontakteuk)
THEN to headline, Brighton’s raring-ist hariest improv thrill-ride - Passiondale - relentless rising groovescapeness packed with uncomfortable samples, bleeping toms, shimmering guitar work and distorted howling. (no MySpaces for them, so you’ll just have to come and see for yourself!)
