Some Wise Words About The Elvis Suicide's Debut Single, "Surveying The Young Professionals/If I Don't Run"....
"Surveying the Young Professionals is Franz Ferdinand on 10 Red Bulls. A sneer at the selfishness of the 9-5ers: "Let Rome burn around us/I’ll just watch my back". If I Don’t Run- the other A side- keeps up the bpms - a blitzkrieg wall of sonic rage overlapped with a love song which begins and ends in two minutes... With names like Chris Devotion, The Rough Monk, McGarvey and The Ladies Choice, this band sound like a gang you’ll want to join."- Rick Fulton, Daily Record
"My only criticism here is that I have to keep getting up to play it again after less than 2 minutes! Both songs scream of a band that are hungry for the music they're playing, so unlike so much of the homogenous 'indie' music we're spoon fed in these worryingly commercial times! Can't wait to check 'em out live!!- Rating 4/5"- Music-News
"‘Surveying The Young Professionals’ is a Pixies-esque jaw-dropper of a single, crammed to the top with energy, muscle and passion. With a single bassline starting proceedings, the song suddenly turns into a full-frontal obnoxious frenzy a minute in, and the band don’t pay respect to the neighbours after that either."- Gigwise
"Fast, upbeat and catchy. That’s exactly what The Elvis Suicide are. The band clearly know the values of classic rock n’ roll and they are combining that with quick punk riffs. Their music may appear very basic on the surface but this is one talented band, who are trying to do something different from every other band around.... Even though the single only lasts for 10 minutes, they are 10 very enjoyable minutes that enjoyment increases every time it is listened to. If this single is anything to judge by then The Elvis Suicide are definitely going to make an impact on the British music scene."- Tasty Fanzine
"That's what we need. A bit of anger. A bit of spirit. And a lot of determination. None of this posturing and sleeping with minor celebrities to get attention. Just play your music loud and take no prisoners and it will all work out fine. That's what the Elvis Suicide do... Crank it to the max and think of the great balancing act that is taking place. All the power that you are drawing out of the mains to annoy the neighbours is getting replaced every time the Elvis Suicides play a song making this an energetic yet environmentally friendly release. Yes, you can even get it on vinyl! Rating 4/5"- Bluesbunny
"…beneath the scrambling guitars, punchy drumming and punk shouting, The Elvis Suicide have a country sensibility. They start the set fast and hard allowing drummer Div Striker to lead the charge and wooing the crowd with sheer energy. They never slow the pace, but as the set wears on, the more subtle structures become clear. Their single-mindedness is breathtaking, their music stripped of the pretension that mars so much rock."- The Skinny
"Angular, riotous and boasting more sharp edges than a trolley load of broken bottles curdling in a wired spasmodic grind more fitting a potently charged Joy Division and yet coming across very much like a less daunting Dead Kennedys. Absolutely recommended."- losingtoday.com
"It's raw and it's real… There's no pretence here, just jeans, shirts, drum and guitars."- Edinburgh Evening News
"The Elvis Suicide rock. No room for any argument. It's all short sharp shocks that mix some traditional '77 punk attitude with a palpable sense of the danger of rock and roll. It's a manifesto of intent that they are laying down here. You either get with the programme, or sit on the sidelines and watch as they hit mach speed and leave the competition in the dust."- El Diablo Fanzine
"I really look forward to hearing more from this band and if they ever step over the board into sunny Yorkshire I’d make a point of seeing them, if this taster is anything to go by I bet there a cracking band to see live. Rating 4/5"- The Beat Surrender
