"The quality just keeps on coming and next in line are another of the main highlights. The Bundesrats explode out of the speakers and into your senses with Nathan ‘Dangerface’ Smith’s insanely deep, scaling vocals being the main factor on ‘Nervin’, creating real lyrical drama..."
The Beat Surrender review of "Sounds of the Rhubarb Triangle"
"The Bundesrats started the night off with their Faith No More meets the Editors sound, fantastic presence and great bass hooks that really interested the growing crowd."
Offical Red Stripe Music Awards Review
"Showcasing the most impulsive skank-happy anthemics this side of Madness" Jay Lawrence - The Rhubarb Bomb
"They sound like The B52s and The Specials on crack. Ace up and coming Wakefield band" Louder Than Bombs
'Wakefield's very own Ska youngsters have taken this event by storm, whipping the crowd into a frenzied dancing mass! Despite only being together for a single year, the bands' performance belies their tender ages.' WTP Music
'Heirs to the city's ska-rock throne' Wakefield Express
The final song on the EP is the definite standout! The Bundersrats have really broken the mould with You Got It All. With tight drums and bass laying the songs foundations, a unique vocal is introduced. Sounding like a crazy mix of Johnny Rotten and Frank Sinatra it carries this band into uncharted terrotories. With a grungy Primus styled solo, trippy keys and packed to the brim with vibe it’s probably worth buying the EP for this track alone! Dan Hobson sheffieldmusic.com review(Sept 2008)
