Xavier Floyd Firebird - Press Quotes
"Exciting times lay ahead for Xavier Floyd Firebird, not only have they got one of the best band names..ever, and their debut release "boss man you scare me" is one of the most original records in recent years, two minutes and forty six seconds of sheer brilliance. Mark my words "boss man you scare me" will be filling indie club dance floors up and down the country & will go ballistic on the alternative music radio & TV channels. This is exactly how all records should sound... raw, dynamic, epic, sexy, angry with the extra added spicy passion....what more can you ask for?"
Jase Burns, Producer 'Incoming' on 103.2 Power FM (Capital Network Radio)
"Variety; spice of life and all that. Strange grafting of punk, acoustic and emo that blossoms brilliantly. Chugging guitars, massive orchestral movements and soaring keys, great, lilting, multi-layered vocals and complex arrangements make this both intriguing and essential."
Theo Berry: Decode Magazine. www.decodemedia.com
"Their trick is angsty, twisted indie with a smattering of gravely Cable-esque shouts. Moments of Muse, blended with The Cooper Temple Clause and chopped up with Stooges influences ? Xavier Floyd Firebird have some incredibly catchy hooks and instantly memorable tunes."
