Biog:
The Uncomfortables are battered guitars and songs about love and Hell, the things that matter. Elements of Pixies, Tom Waits, Film Noir and Surf Rock come clattering together in an electrifying mixture.
The Uncomfortables have played with Jamie T, We Are Scientists, the Brute Chorus, Dartz, Aidan Smith and the Departure as well as festivals such as Kendal Calling and One Big Weekend. They also undertook a tour of Australia in 2008 with Pistol Records who released the single 'Vodka Stomach'.

Reviews:
"(The new Uncomfortables EP) is cracking stuff. 'Levi's Genes' is a groovy slice of archly ironic beatnik bop that sways along very much in the style of, well, doomy jazz. Rarely has a label more accurately reflected its product. 'Daemon' is a fetching tale of terraced neurosis and 'Django Ray' is a soulful stomp that only requires a horn section to properly mark it out as a work of some frantic latino genius, in the style of the only ever faintly recalled Blue Rondo á La Turk, what were pretty hot in their day, I can tell you. Great label design on the CD too : The Uncomfortables just bought themselves some new furniture ..."
- Jon Gordon (TASTY Fanzine)
"Daemon is a surprisingly delicate depiction of love between two lost souls. Levi's Genes would fit nicely onto the next Nick Cave album. It's dark, sinister and raw. The perfect soundtrack for a Dickensian villain, perhaps.
Cult of Django Ray is a mini-opus that has all the right elements to be an indie album classic – close harmonies; simple, memorable riffs; repetition; singalong lyrics. Swirling Hammond organs give the track a mysterious undertone, and the intelligent arrangement of the track means it improves with repeated listening.
If you're in the mood for something a little bit offbeat, The Uncomfortables are certainly worth checking out."
- Chris Moffatt (TASTY Fanzine)
"Soulful bluesy indie that creates a creepy, sexy atmosphere of the Nick Cave ilk, but with a bit more bite and a bit less bark. Really nice."
- (Subba-cultcha)
"The Uncomfortables have a literary take on love, life, and the human nature, all phrased with an acerbic accent. Listen again for a taste of British Sea Power, and the lyrical strength..."
- Liam Pennington (High Voltage)
"Frontman Richard Lomax is a madman. As he sings his drunken, manic, sea-shanty style songs, his eyeballs roll into the back of his head, his face distorts into scowls and frowns and he wails unexpectedly, becoming more than just a mouth-piece for the songs but at one with the despair the song depicts. The Uncomfortables are compelling, screwed up and brilliant."
- Melissa Davey (Drum Media)
"Part-surf, part-cow-punk... What's not to like? Demo of the month."
- Math Priest (Rhythm Magazine)
"...influenced by an array of artists from Bowie to Kinks to Zutons. These fellas from Priest Town offer a fresh perspective. These boys really do have something to give and are definitely a band to look out for. Their tracks are awesome with the juice turned on."
- Shane King (Beat Magazine)
"De-da-de-da-dee-dead fucking good!"
- Ed Monk (Hed Magazine)
"...the Uncomfortables are terrific. They play a visceral half-hour of thrash-pop, with oodles of organ and charisma."
- Jamie Smith (the Music Magazine)
