XLTRA SXSW 2009 Fryday 20 March 2009 South by Southwest Festival Austin Texas. TOM CARY 11.00 PM FRYDAY AT LAMBERTS By Michael Corcoran "11 p. m. Tom Cary (punk). This Steve Albini-produced band from Spain embodies graceful power."
"11 p.m Tom Cary (Punk) Esta banda española producida por Steve Albini trasmite una agraciada fuerza y poder."
Mondosonoro, number 158 p. 36, January, 2009. By Arturo García. Tom Cary “ That's right! Clean your soul” ( Anewlabel Records 2008)
“Con un discurso muy emparentado con The Velvet Undreground, The Stooges o Bob Dylan, en temas como Oh! Hairdresser se deslizan con maestría por un fino alambre que separa el estruendo guitarrero y la paz de un folk tan dulce como un caramelo envenenado.”
“With a very similar speech to The Velvet Underground, The Stooges or Bob Dylan, Tom Cary slides with mastery down a thin wire that separates the thunder of guitars and the peace of a folk sound as sweet as poisoned candy in songs like “Oh! Hairdresser” Rockdelux, number 267 pp. 84-85, November, 2008. By David Morán. Tom Cary “That's right! Clean your soul” ( Anewlabel Records 2008)
“Un poco más de mano izquierda a la hora de manejar esos cambios de intensidad y ritmo es lo único que le falta a este trabajo grabado en los estudios "Electrical Audio" de Chicago por Steve Albini y con portada a cargo de Pepo Pérez para pasar de ser un buen disco a ser uno realmente esplendido. Sólo eso.”
“The only thing this work - recorded in the Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago by Steve Albini and with cover design by Pepo Pérez – lacks is a little bit of handling when it comes to dealing with different rhythms and intensities. Just that would turn this great album into a really magnificent one. Just that.”

“La música de Tom Cary se exhibe de manera personal, madura y arriesgada, algo nada común para un debutante. Tom Cary tiene un discazo en el mercado, y ahora que seguimos huérfanos de Manta Ray, no estaría de más que todos se dieran cuenta...”
"Tom Cary's music shows itself in a very personal, mature and risky way, something uncommon for a band making their debut. Tom Cary has released a great album, and now that we are bereft of Manta Ray, everyone should take this into account."

"Tom Cary: Rock Iluminado"
http://sololobueno.com/2008/12/29/tom-cary-rock-iluminado/
“Un grupo como Tom Cary y un trabajo como “That's Right! Clean Your Soul” (2008, Anewlabel Records) debería servirnos de argumento aplastante con el que sepultar para siempre la extendida tesis de que en este país nadie sabe hacer auténtico rock & roll. Diré sólo que es rock & roll con destellos de blues y de gospel y que es natural y completo, con momentos de calma y tempestad provocados por las tripas de tres músicos de verdad. Por cierto, son sólo ocho canciones pero ya se sabe que lo bueno, si es breve…”
“A band as Tom Cary and a work as “That's right! Clean your soul” (2008, Anewlabel Records) should make us reject the widespread view that nobody knows how to do authentic rock & roll in this country (Spain). I will say that it's only rock & roll with blues and gospel sparkles and that is natural and comprehensive, with calm and tempest moments brought on by the guts of three truly musicians. By the way, there are just 8 songs in the album, but what's good, when brief, is twice as good." Spinner.com, online review. "Tom Cary: intensidad rock", February 7th, 2009. By Almudena Zazo. http://es.spinner.com/2009/02/07/tom-cary-intensidad-rock/ "Tom Cary se hicieron populares gracias a un temazo directo e impecable, "Energy never disappears, only gets transformed", y ahora pretenden refrendar su éxito con un debut impecable titulado "That's right! Clean your soul" (Anewlabel, 08), donde en tan sólo ocho temas convencen más que muchos grupos con toda su discografía."
"Tom Cary became popular thanks to a straight, impeccable hit, "Energy never disappears, only gets transformed", and now they try to endorse their success with a faultless debut entitled "That's right! Clean your soul" (Anewlabel, 08), more convincing with only eight tracks than the whole discography of many other bands."
