"Patiosounds rose to the occasion and played a floor-filling set that had us all on our feet. Asses were shaken, moves were busted and popular classics(old and new) were delivered with astounding power and accuracy. More than a few minds were blown.."
(Stephen Rainey, Alternative Ulster)
"Belfast based Patiosounds take hold of the musical reins, leading into the second half of the show and propelling the night forward with their three minute, melodic, indie-rock songs...they have proved they can pen a good tune, and are sure to have you singing ‘Say you want more’ before the show’s over."
(An CrúscÃn Lán - CORK)
"Patiosounds have front man who can really sing and sometimes he does so in a way that could be the saddest you've heard, like Conor Oberst without the excessive dramatics. They've got a bagful of those often underappreciated commodities called 'tunes' that insinuate their way into your all too receptive brain...they seem incredibly realised for a band that haven..t been around that long"
(HELEN TOLAND, BBC)
..Lush, and lovelorn, wide-eyed and stratospheric. Patiosounds pave the way ahead"
(JOHN EARLS, CHANNEL 4)
"Patiosounds...break out with lean, scuzzy guitars, a bad attitude, bruising drums and a gnarled bassline. Again this has a gorgeous melody and the song writing has made room for some really heart stopping moments. Swathes of guitar collide, build and burst to an epic close that makes you feel like you are on a real high"
(Bang! bang! review, GLASSWERK)
