"Flying high on a battery of electrocuted riffs and flayed-raw adrenaline, frontmen Glen and Kit make for a deliciously attitude-free musical thrill…" Kerrang! |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
"Whoa! Turn up the volume! The Sound Ex you suspect, would lay down their lives for rock and roll…" Radio 1 - Steve Lamacq |

"With ’In The City’ and pile driving new single ’Loss’, The Sound Ex have once again staked a claim to being this country’s finest exponents of the Garage Rock Genre". "There are 3 more bands on with The Sound Ex – but it isn’t worth hanging around to see them. There’s just no point at all really" Classic Rock - Live review |

“So many bands have dishonestly claimed to be the living breathing embodiment of revolutionary rock n roll that its genuinely unnerving to find one that really is” Kerrang! (KKKK) |

"If Jimi Hendrix, Jack White and Jon Spencer had a three-way, The Sound Explosion might just be the offspring. ..." Drownedinsound.com |

"…The Sound Explosion are the most exciting live band on the planet today. A whirlwind of crotch thrusts, wind milling guitar playing, star jumps and head banging fervour on stage, it was a nail-biting worry that they wouldn’t be able to transfer their ferocious sound onto disc. This worry has proved unfounded. An awesome debut." Classic Rock |

|

 |
|
"The Sound Explosion’s blues-rock is clearly derivative but these Geordies sprinkle enough modern youthful enthusiasm into their performance to make them real contenders. They rock…" Rock Sound |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
"A hurricane of scratchy blues, screams and squealing solos whipped up by an intense foursome who thrash around the stage all clenched teeth, unkempt locks and flailing limbs…" Kerrang!, live review |
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
"Armed with swagger, high octane energy and steeped in rock & roll, the Sound Explosion are a killer teenage power quartet who know that the only truth left in rock & roll is getting out there and playing the damn stuff..." - John Robb Playlouder |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
"Skinny white boys with long hair and loud guitars – hardly a new formula, but when Sound Explosion shiver, shake and sweat out their apocalyptic vision of what rock, blues and soul SHOULD sound like, it suddenly doesn’t matter...." Kerrang! |

"New Masters of Noise - the Sound Ex are one of the brightest lights on the Newcastle
live scene, attracting interest from major labels through their
frenetic live shows. Lou at Core |

"I kick myself for not cottoning on sooner. Dunno what any of the songs were called but they were all magic and loud as hell." The Crack |

|
"Whoah mama... The Sound Ex are the Newcastle based rabble-rousers who are eschewing that strand of art/pop that is currently in vogue and perusing a real down and dirty punky extravaganza which is glammy, sexy and smothered in 'tude." The Crack |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
"Finally, someone in garageland gets it right... (yet) The Sound Ex are more than slavish garage copyists. First things first: bar possibly only the Towers of london, The Sound Ex are the most exciting live band on the planet today... An awesome debut." The Crack |

 |
|
"Taking the bombastic basslines of the MC5 and aggressive six-string assault of the Blues Explosion and rubbing them in your face - they're tighter, louder and more energetic than is strictly decent." Guitar and Base |
