“Being 'psychedelic’ means to us that stand quietly / loudly in the middle of interzone and stare at both sides at once. We are Enlightenment activists from far east psychedelic underground."

‘best new band at the Offset Festival’ The Observer

‘it's the best gig I've seen all year. What with the profoundly cool, effortless onstage wig-outs and head-bending james, they are pretty much the consummate psyche band, while at the same time playing an updated J-Rock template that has elements of kraut-rock, metal, hardcore and funk scratched all over it. That might sound messy on paper but live the disorder is wrought into tight riffs that explode into transcendent a-tonal onslaughts without notice. In its obbession with repetition and the twisted patterns of its ungraspable musical narrative, the set has all the appeal of listening to Amon Duul, Can or Melt-Banana’-Loud & Quiet

'a loud, glorious serving of Japanese progressive-punk that threatens to blow your head off with its raging twists and sweeping turns. It's like having your brain massaged from the inside - it makes your nerves stand on end but also soothingly fucked up' - www.samu.co.uk

“the four skinny Japanese guys combined big hair, big guitars, catchy riffs, a pinch of insanity and some fine songs to create a simply mesmerising set that has the attention of everyone in the theatre. The emotion of the tracks is portrayed brilliantly by the group, led by a sockless young gent who looks like he could possibly snap in two at any moment. A great set of emotional and dynamic rock snowballs to an explosive conclusion, think jumping, climbing, teeth supported guitar antics and a huge boom of noise.”- Panic:
