WHAT THE PRESS SAY…
“Brit-rock in the vein of Placebo, Three Colours Red and Therapy?. Excellent!” – METAL HAMMER
“One of the most refreshing rock releases of 2004” – BLACK VELVET MAGAZINE
“A level of musical integrity that gives me the confidence to truly define them as art-house rock…a genuine sound – a real band for real people, with a frothy layer of grit on the side.” – CMU MUSIC NETWORK
“Flying low under the radar, David R Black are the real underground” – LA WEEKLY
“An impressive debut that suggests the band have more catchy guitar tunes to follow” – THE BIG ISSUE
“David R Blacks’ sound borrows elements of classic British indie adding elements of true compassion and art rock brilliance.” – ALTERNATIVE LINKS
“Their quirky take on avant-garde Britrock conjours up memories of Compulsion, Fugazi and even The Undertones. It may work against the grain of what the beautiful people say should be flavour of the month, but it’s all the more delightful for such arrogant defiance.” – TELETEXT Album of the week (4/5)
“ One of the best rock and roll anthems to come out of Manchester in the last 5 years.” – MANCHESTER MUSIC Record of the week (5/5)
“Drips with a pure emotion…excellent” POWER PLAY (6/6)
ON THE ROAD…

WHAT COMES NEXT…
