"I Conur’s epic post-punk symphonies are monumental"
NME
"With a live show that is becoming increasingly more dynamic with every performance, I Concur look set to be the next big piece of Leeds’ seemingly never-ending musical jigsaw earmarked for success."
Drowned In Sound 'DiScover'

Reviews:
"An absolutely gorgeous imposition of celestial guitar and drums like boulders caroming down a mountainside. You know that part of Radiohad's "Airbag" where Jonny Greenwood's guitar swoops in and makes you forget you ever cared any other music before? Throw it on an Explosions in the Sky record and you have the reason this song rocks."

'Sup Magazine
"To use Interpol as a reference seems an almost slight, given the technical skill of the multiple guitar lines, yet the restrained and almost subtle nature of this oddly massive sound is something that can only be praised at the highest level. The crafting is immense."
The Cuckoo Press"Taking their inspiration from the sprawling post-rock instrumentation of the likes of Godspeed and Explosions In The Sky, I Concur weave understated melodies into the havoc, forging complex constructions of bludgeoning intensity in the process. Eminently powerful stuff!"

"One of those "Oh YEEEEES!" moments that us poor reviewers wait weeks and weeks to hear."
Sam Saunders, Whisperin & Hollerin

Tom Goodhand, Sandman Magazine "Ones To Watch" (June)

Interviews
"With songs about motorways, mountain-sized riffs and song titles like 'Grandeur' and 'Exits & Blockades', I Concur conjure huge imagery in both their sound and their lyrics."

More live reviews
"Sometimes there's a collective holding-of-breath before an onslaught. And the onslaughts are a controlled violence with emotional consequences. Lyrically they have a special cast of their own. Elusive and allusive, they distil the emotional spirit from mythic stories and lost heroes. Like the music, they surge and roar with subtle shifts and they move great burdens. The performance tonight is bursting. A very splendid gig."
