AN EXPERIMENT ON A BIRD IN THE AIR PUMP

About Me


'In times when everything seems sewn up, we need someone to tear it apart. In an age of smoothly sellable corporate indie, we need someone to take a knife to the façade. At the start of 2009, the band stepping up to that challenge is An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump.' The Independent on Sunday, Jan 09
'An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump scare us. They're the authentic face of the gothic post-rock lot with an impressively arty name to match, and look like they could properly do us over if we met them in a dark alley. It's The Jesus And Mary Chain meets Kim Gordon in a post-apocalyptic world. Watch them through your fingers. Like we said, this year is all about bands who'll change your life: prepare to fall in love.' NME, Jan 09
'A kind of noisy Ronettes meets the Banshees girl-group. In fact they’re exactly what the Jesus and Mary Chain were aiming for before they spoiled it all by being spotty Scottish guys rather than glamourously mysterious black-clad girls.' - Le Cool, Dec 08
''These luscious ladies simmer on stage with blunt fringes, wanton curves, red lips and a hard as nails attitude.' i-D Magazine, Dec 08
'Coolest band, coolest band.' Sunday Times Style Magazine, Nov 08
'Bad Seeds meets The Shangri-Las nightmare. A No-Wave Ronettes...Bewitching.' - NME, Oct 08
