'mental space trash rock n roll'

About Me

'The Spectacle of Magic Dan' video
'She's a Surfin' Machine' and 'Surfin' Cyborg Blues' live
"If people surf in the future, they will undoubtedly do it to the soundtrack of this amazing band. Who needs stereo when you have mental space trash rock and roll this good?"- DEMO OF THE MONTH OCT 06 www.highvoltage.org.uk
"the bubble project are not cool and do not have disco beats" - ross lewis
"Surf rock guitar riffs and brutal synth noises combine to produce a sound, which is clearly intent on pushing the boundaries of the conventional" - get rhythm
"Ignore the seemingly nonchalant demeanour of the live show and you will uncover some of the most delightful stone-cold poptastic gems that you won't have heard from a northeast band since Paul joined Maximo Park" - NARC. magazine
"The Mackem music makers marry surf rock twangy guitars, electro synths, plonky keyboards and very Sunderland style pop tone vocals. It's a superb sound with loads of unexpected twists and turns and, above all, they have a real ear for a tune" - the evening gazette (teeside area)
"The Bubbles world is as optimistic as The Jetsons cartoon series and the future as bright as a lab coat, even if slightly twisted" - the bunker magazine
"The Bubble Projects undoubted ear for a tune and love of pop science sounds ready made for today, tomorrow and definitely the future" - www.highvoltage.org.uk
"Unusual and extremly talented, Beach Boys in space madness" - gutter magazine
