THE THINGS

Wild Psychotic Sounds EP - Irish Times ****

Wild Psychotic Sounds is their latest release - a self produced six track EP reminiscent of The Gun Club and The Misfits. Recorded, mostly in Dublin, using their 'Rollin Mobile Studio' this is as close to The Things you can get without catching something. - Dazed and Confused

''Maximum headspining rock'n'roll” - The Irish Times

"Rock'n'Roll Animals" - Evening Herald

Desperate rock’n’roll roars from the speakers. I feel like I’m in some New York Bowery shit hole rediscovering The Cramps - Fact Mag UK (live review)

''Amazing, aggressive, full of energy'' - The Belfast Telegraph

Some kinda kick (single) - So feverishly does vocalist Neilo howl out his sleazoid predatory lyrics, its as if his larynx is about the explode at any minute. The type of rock tune any band would kill to have written. SC - Hotpress (Single of the forthnight)

"The Things conjure an image of Screaming Lord Sutch piloting a ghost train straight to Hell; a riff-roaring ride that should have queues forming around the block" - Logo Magazine UK

"The Things, frontman is a cross between Iggy Pop and Marilyn Manson, has the Carisma of 10 bands put together" - John Meagher Irish Independent

"With songs called ‘Psycho Lover,’ and an affection for make-up and all things Hammer Horror, Neilo and Co are easily one of the most exciting bands in Ireland. Taking equal measures of Murder City Devils, the Misfits and the Cramps, the Things are just what the doctor (or should that be an undertaker?) ordered in a climate of skinny-tie wearing boy-bands". - Edwin McFee - Belfast Telegraph

"The Dublin rockers have undergone a weird, FRANKENSTEIN-LIKE TRANSFORMATION FROM NEO-mODS TO SCUZZY, SCARY SWAMP THINGS. HERE'S A SLIMEROCKER THET'LL GIVE THE CRAMPS A RUN FOR THEIR SCUMMY." - KEVIN COURTNEY - THE IRISH TIMES (SINGLE REVIEW)

THE THINGS Wild Psychotic Sounds (Big Neck): 9/10 - Rumore Magazine (ITALY)

Wild Psychotic Sounds EP - "The Things bring us some of the best punk Ireland has vomited since the 70s, and it would not be unfair to say they've trumped a lot of bands from that era at their own game". - Frequency Mag Ireland

Wild Psychotic Sounds EP - Diabolically dirty rock daubed over yer dainty eyes and arses with faint, suitably spectral hints of organ creeping around the guitar grind and Vanian-vamping, Bator-barfing vocals free-climbing up your legs and luxuriating in interiors you’re largely unaware of. Startlingly seductive, whether it’s the voodoo vainglories of Thee Hypnotics, the boom-swagger-bust of The Murder City Devils or the saturated skin-tight stomp of The Cramps this ain’t no 80’s Matchbox amateur spasmodics, self-conscious BRMC drone or Stooge-swallowing supplications. With a handle on the dramatics prepare to be ushered stage-ward and pissed on by these wild things, you’ll find you much prefer it. - Stu Gibson Sleazegrinder.com

“One of the best rock and roll shows we’ve seen in an aeon. But we’re not talking Oasis-style rock and roll, we’re talking dirty, sleazy I wanna fuck your mother type rock.” BELFAST TELEGRAPH

Tiger EP - The Things have just released a sublime taster for their forthcoming album in the form of the delicious three track Tiger EP on Psycho Sound Records. Neilo and the boys are on Top form as usual. Feast your ears on these raw garage rock gems pronto. - Hotpress Magazine

Tiger EP - The title track is a ripper, a rock ‘n’ roll garage behemoth shredding your ears with glorious technicolour noise. State Magazine

Tiger EP - Tiger is a tantalizing glimpse of the upcoming full-length album due later in the year. Drop-D.ie

Tiger EP - yet another testimony to all that is vibrant about the alternative/underground scene in Ireland today. 10/10 Frequency Mag
Tiger EP - dark, light psychelic garage punk between..Cramps, Gun Club, Misfits....sounds like bit conflicting, but it..s a fuctional, sweeping combination. exciting!!! 8/10 - OX-Fanzine (Germany)The Things - Psycho Lover - Directed by Johannes von Bentzel
