Sounds Like: Highlights of what people have said about us below below. For the full comprehensive collection CLICK for blog page... "its 4 tracks reflect a confident diversity of influences, which create a refreshing sound...In a year when the likes of Nine Black Alps have achieved great success, it appears with this EP that Men In Caves can offer a fresher, more assorted and less contrived alternative to the grunge resurgence." more...
Concrete Magazine"...a breezy West Coast vibe...It's not very often that you get rock shanties with muscle (no pun intended)- and they're done well here in a Nirvana VS Decemberists way." more...
Artrocker "Lead Singer Tom Brindle has a beautiful and strong voice, frequently angst filled and emotion saturated. The accompanying band strike up a bold grungy rock sound, which is well structured and highly polished.
Stand out tracks for me are ‘Am I The One?’ which is a bluesesque yet jazzy toe tapper and ‘Why Did You Bring Me Here?’ for its slowly increasing tension to a head bashing climax before dropping away into meak exhausted heap. Great finisher" more...
Liquor Is Quicker Magazine "An enjoyable romp through the raw passionate delivery of kelly jones via a slightly modified Nirvana (if they’d been listening to post-punk funkiness)…"
Subba-Culture"The Caveolae EP from Cov band Men in Caves impresses with its polished and melodic, yet unrestrained, sound. Before you realise its happening, your subconscious will be oo-oo-ing along with standout track Spiders."
Cathryn Newbery, Warwick Boar"With up beat and well paced songs, Men in Caves are a powerful trio who manage to make lots of noise and movement for just three guys. Their set was full of distinctive and unrelenting lyrics and vocals, finishing with the set with the haunting melody of Why Did You Bring Me Here?"
Dan Searles, BBC online
