What they say:
We are the undercurrents (February 2008)
"Like Sigur Ros on a quirky pop binge, A Genuine Freakshow’s colliding style has you on the edge of your seat and is simply astounding." angryape.com - Feb 2008
0.008% (APRIL 2007)
"Put it on, sit back and be utterly blown away" *RECORD OF THE WEEK* www.initforthemoney.net - April 2007
"they share the same widescreen ambition and apocalyptic sound of the likes of “The Black Amnesias” and have an undeniable talent for creating songs of mesmerising splendour and scope. " www.musicspotlight.co.uk - June 2007
"I could use a thesaurus of over the top wordplay to sum up A Genuine Freakshow, but their music is so dramatic, passionate & real that only ‘breathtaking’ comes to mind." The Plastic Ashtray - June 2007
"A Genuine Freakshow are really very good at the slow moody dramatic moody Godspeed You Radiohead Explosion In The Sky thing and we’re thinking, yes, very nice." Organ Magazine - June 2007
"Their latest recordings are too sexy and divine for words - they made us swoon and weep, like three month old babies" www.velocityrecords.com - June 2007
"... a slow building wealth of sombre post rock, strings, freak out moments, fragile vocals and blitzkreig outbursts" tohellwith.co.uk - September 2007
DEMO EP (MARCH 2006)
"A Genuine Freakshow are undoubtedly a genuine talent, with any of the songs on offer here showing this." www.powpowpow.com - April 2006
"A masterpiece of mental turmoil" www.coolnoise.co.uk - Oct 2006

"How largely are 0.008% please beautiful? That is phänomenal. I thank my parents and the coincidence, who pulled me to these marvelous EP."Jake (14.06.2007 - 15:08 clock)
"De l'émotion a l'état pur, A Genuine freakshow est un nouveau groupe prometteur de Londres. Mélodique, vous allez adorer." CISM 89.3 FM - Aug 2006"Teetering on that brink between despair and euphoria at everything the world has to offer, A Genuine Freakshow sound giddily intoxicated with a submergence in, and happy disbelief at, the intensity of life." *DEMO OF THE WEEK* www.music-dash.co.uk - Sept 2006
LIVE REVIEWS
"Jaw dropping and thought provoking. A Genuine Freakshow are already oozing talent and potential. If anyone has any sense, they'll definitely be a band you'll be hearing about again soon" Decode Magazine - Feb 2005
"Their mix of live drama, ear splitting guitar thrashing and dual vocals give this band a whole palette of sounds to work with and helps them create inspirational music. Long may they continue it" www.theplasticashtray.co.uk - April 2007

"Their first song saw a military style drum roll, picking guitar, moody trumpet and a gradual ascent towards a big soundscape and vocals that can only be likened to Thom Yorke...apocalyptic and haunting sounds infused a nothing but entertaining set. crossrhythms.co.uk - August 2007
"Self-indulgent" The Mag - Oct 2006
