Tom Woodhead, (iForward, Russia!)
For a young band, Hey Panda create quite a racket, and by the end of the set I realise positioning myself inches from the speaker hasn’t done much good for my left ear. They come across like the Rapture if they owned more fuzz pedals, with dancey, pounding drums and jagged, spikey guitar riffs.
Matthew Benn, Dirtyzine
An eclectic mix of shambolic wig-outs and high tempo beats was how you would imagine The Fall to sound following a date with The Rapture.
James Rush, Bradford Telegraph & Argus
An explosion of jerky, fast paced, post-punk/no wave noise.
Jamila, Fuckingdance
