"Already creating a huge wave of hype in and around Oxford, they're a bunch of ragtag urchins who make raucous, inspiring indie." - NME
"Borderville could well be on a mission to save music." - The Fly
"If you tried to teach Martians about rock music with nothing but videos of Tommy, the musical Buffy episode, a Rick Wakeman album and a scratchy 7" of 'Ballroom Blitz', they'd probably turn out performances just like Borderville." - Nightshift
"recalls Sondheim's bedlam scenes...sounds like a hold-up in a costumier's" - Oxfordbands.com
"a rich tapestry of sound that a dozen or so people would have been glad to make" - Daily Info
"(Joe) has a voice like a crack-hardened Bowie and the body of a small child" - Spoonfed.co.uk
"The songs ought to be in a musical" - eGigs.co.uk
Many indie bands falsely claim they sound nothing like their peers; for good or ill, Borderville can make that claim with a cocksure degree of certainty. Chanelling the spirits of Kate Bush, Bowie, Brel and even Stephen Sondheim, Borderville re-imagine glam rock with towering walls of sound and ornate flourishes of baroque piano, all imbued with the morbid romanticism of a drunken Rufus Wainwright harbouring an ugly vendetta.
