On Bacchae! Bacchae, move! Bring home Bromius, our god, son of god, great Dionysus, from Phrygian mountains to spacious roads of Greece— Hail Bromius!

All songs recorded by Mr. James Atkinson

“A Dirty, skuzzy garage-rock band whose tracks sound like they were actually recorded in a shed in Detroit by Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs. ‘Man’ in particular makes us want to neck a bottle of JD, turn up the stereo and shake it like a Polaroid picture.”- NME

“The Bacchae are doing something very dark and grubby up North and it is a good, good thing. It has attitude, gothic leanings, decadent ambition, literary pretensions and a very sexy sound.” –Mainstream Journal of Aesthetics

“The Bacchae make that rock and roll that is oh so missing in your life right now. “– P.I.X. Magazine

“Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.”- LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

"Bacchus we thank who gave us wine Which warms the blood within our veins; That nectar is itself divine. The man who drinks not, yet attains By godly grace to human rank Would be an angel if he drank."- Pierre Motin
