“Having been together for such a short space of time, the band have crafted an exciting, fresh brand of melodic indie – and although I’m loathe to say “catchy” – it’s a beguiling slice of rock-pop. The live aspect of the band is captivating and sharp with a startlingly authoritive vocal accompanied by the splendid all round sound of Uncle Monty. If for some mad, mentally incapacitating reason you turn your nose up at this band then you really are devoid of all heart and soul.” NARC
“Powerful melodic pop songs and immense choruses, midway between The Shins, The La’s and Wilco “ THE GEN
“Uncle Monty have a scrumptious ability to carve out a stunning melody and expand it into a rocking pop gem. Powerful & brash vocals combine with chiming and rhythmic guitars to form a tight unit of musical solidity and composition, you can’t really fault a band who’s arrangements flow so well.” SHAM!
“Monty’s front man could punch steel with his late era-Cooper Temple Clause meets Zutons tones. The songs are strong – melody strewn, overdriven, lolloping hounds of pop – but it is that voice that just hauls them up to a higher ledge.” NARC
“Uncle Monty create an impressive sound incorporating fun melodies with a sharp edge of psychedelic rock worthy of the likes of The Coral.” THE EVENING CHRONICLE
"With their National influenced arrangements, Uncle Monty are currently flying the flag for melody in the North East and they open tonight looking & sounding like they belong on this bigger stage. They manage to impress a room full of new faces & their love for a tune recalls the emergence of The Coral, albeit with better dress sense." NARC

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

For the last few months we've been locked away in bedrooms around the Northeast, and one particularly dingy practice room in Felling, writing new songs and perfecting a new set for you all.
So...you are all invited down to the Cooperage Monday 16th March for the small fee of £1.50 to view the latest spectacle plus support from Wooden Spoons. And... as an added gesture all who make an appearance are granted free entry into Connection afterwards!
