Sounds Like: "...'Stop The Clocks', a unique and hideously catchy, not to mention incredibly encouraging, collection of upbeat rock, proves that SaidMike are more than capable of standing alone. With unusually abrupt and unpredictable tempos...Stop The Clocks is an exceptional debut."
Claire Higgins, Big Cheese Magazine, January 2008.
"Mightily impressive debut from the Pontypridd Teenage sensations. The musicianship is incredible for a band so young, with epic drumming and huge Prince-style-synthesizers coming to the fore. Also thrown in to the mix are some daft punk-influenced vocoders, swathes of syncopated guitars and a bagful of immense beats. With songs this inventive, Said Mike are the most exciting find of 2007."
James Hannam, The Fly Magazine, September 2007.
Said Mike is a hard band to pigeonhole. They’re not self-pitying enough to be Emo, they’re too rocky to be Indie and far too good to be classed as Pop... “Stop the Clocks†is a very strong debut EP both musically and lyrically. Said Mike have a refreshing maturity in their lyrics that is becoming less common as the alternative music scene, with the exception of bands like Enter Shikari, becomes saturated by bands that personify the Topshop portrayal of what it means to be alternative.
Laura Routledge, noizemakesenimies.co.uk, January 2008.
"...SaidMike are among the least tall powerpop rockers in the world..."
Steve Beebee, Kerrang! Magazine, February 2008.
