Nicola Welch (The Observer)
"so full of life it hurt ... The boys gelled together excellently!"
Rachel Barrett (LOGO)
"That's right, they ROCK"
Thomas Blatchford (Drowned in Sound.com)
"Their sound is one which has been perfected to take you away from current rock, back to the real, raw music behind that movement and almost puts you in awe of them as you watch. The vocalist`s deep soulful voice, perfected by frequent high rises and passion for the music, often meant most people were unable to take their eyes off him."
The Mag (www.themag.me.uk)
"What makes The BullyCats so refreshing to watch is that quite simply, THEY ROCK! These guys understand, as do groups such as The Datsuns, Fu Manchu and The Hellacopters amongst others, that rock and roll is about passion, excitement and above all fun"
Nick Ellerby (Loudersounds.co.uk)
"The best live band ive seen in the last ten years!"
