Sounds Like
"Pure and celestial vocals merge magnificently with a Velvets throb and a lickle Strokesy staccato guitar fun for an all round Brits go Noo Yoik cool vibe" - Bugbear
"There’s more to The Jude than initial listens suggest. Beneath an exterior of Kings of Leon vocal growls and Stones-esque riffs, is an eminent infectiousness that, whilst clearly indebted to the past, can still stamp their own personal identity without getting lost in a mire of references... What The Jude have done is encapsulate the best of the present and past, and they’re the unique owners of a sound so good, you won’t believe nobody’s signed them yet. Classic stuff" - Rock Feedback
"We were practically blown away by the energy they present on stage... One electricity laden song follows the other, showing off a sound that can be best described as Kings of Leon meet delta blues and 60s rock... We say this band is the hottest tip of the summer" - YME
"A slice of sunshine to combat the miserable UK weather, The Jude have nailed the retro indie sound to something much more exciting... If only more indie bands took a leaf out of The Jude's book. Comprising the deep throaty vocals of Gavin Duffy set against a retro backdrop, the result is a band that sounds far, far older than the single year it has been active for. Somewhere between those playful guitars lies the kind of talent that so many bands of today would kill for. 12/13" - RoomThirteen
"Deep vocals, compelling guitar riffs and a sound which alludes to Kings of Leon, the Stones and the best of delta-blues, this is retro-rock with a compelling forward-looking twist....'One of My Personal Favourites' is quickly becoming true to its name. Let's hope that this song is only an indication of where The Jude can get to. They are touring London extensively, be sure to check them out, they're definitely one to watch out for" - Rockbeatstone
"Though their sound is rooted in the past, The Jude add enough modern, personalised touches to never come across as derivative. Regularly treading the boards across the North London gigging circuit, they are surely destined for bigger things, wise to catch them now" - Spoonfed.co.uk
"Bluesy rock 'n' roll yoofs The Jude have a penchant for Velvet
Underground and Muddy Waters" - Time Out Magazine
