Fairuza

Dan Hegarty- RTE 2FM "It felt like this band had fallenoff the face of the earth, but they're back, and the newmaterial is the best stuff they've ever done - 'Get Me A Gun'and 'Wait Don't Wait' are some of the best rock tunes I'veheard in ages."
Ed Power-HotPress Magazine "This (a.f.k) is marvelous-an absurd, flamboyant chunk of neo-glam, with grinding riffs and a chorus worth spilling virgin blood for."
Dara Byrne-Laoise Weekly "A brillian variety of songs and styles, all three members of the band played off each other brilliantly"
Ciarán Ryan-NME (Ireland) "A delicious slice of stoner rock."
Rory Mc.Connell-BBC Radio 1 "To carry this sort of sound off it has to come from a place that most artists aren't prepared to explore. The deeper, darker, and most importantly truth bearing parts of the soul. Fairuza go there frequently, and kick its contents indiscriminately over everyone listening."
Brinepacer, Pacer Fanzine"Every song sounds likefalling in love."
Rick O'Shea- RTE 2FM "It's about time big things happened for Fairuza and this ep might just be the one to do it for them...."
Shilpa Ganatra-HotPress Magazine "(a.f.k) confirms what their first release "Beautiful" suggested: they're rough as they are ready, as indignantly rawk as they are astute songwriters."
Cormac Battle- RTE 2FM "Utterly Raw anduncompromised....it's time to take notice"
Alison Curtis-Today FM "I'm really enjoying this[(a.f.k) EP]Its a really full, mature sound, reminiscent of amix of Queens of the Stone Age, early Nirvana and the best ofDinosaur Jr ..
Jackie Hayden-Hot Press "Unlike a host of their rivals,Fairuza seem to have their eyes firmly set on the futurewithout betraying the past. So keep all your ears open forthem."
Hannah Hamilton-Hot Press "Fairuza strike a chordbetween chugging rock riffs, seething breathy vocals,considered lyrics and melodic choruses."
John Walshe-Hot Press "There are flashes of genuineinspiration..'Everyway you Turn, you're Beautiful' is acracking tune, the melody taut as a hanging-rope, the rhythmsection providing a tense canvas for Kryz to paint his wordypictures, with tempo changes seeming more natural thanstylised. Similarly, the tight-as-a-fish's-arse 'CherryVanilla' sees them heading in the right direction: thethumping beat and Muse-like serrated guitar being sure toendear them to Dublin's army of indie kids."
Stephanie OBrien- Iris Magazine "The mini-album startswith a radio-friendly rock anthem with an addictive chorus,the title-track 'Beautiful'. The tune 'White Lights' has agreat raw rock guitar thread running through it. Kryz Reiddelivers well-articulated, intense lyric and the record makesyou feel you are sitting right there among the amps in thestudio."
Tom from Soundwaves "Over the last couple of years Fairuza have proven to be oneof the best Dublin bands around. Their debut mini-album'Beautiful' (Fairuzamusic) is solid evidence. The livefavourites 'Hannigan' and 'Champagne Industry' are joined bytheir strongest track 'Every Way You Turn, You're Beautiful' -a song that should, and might just be huge."
