LIVE REVIEWS;
"An unbelievably intense churning of post-rock groove. Kyote are
my new favourite band. The sound is an utterly irresistible combination of
grit and smoothness, of the repetitive and the random. The only acts in the
last few years to give me that instant "wow" factor have been Stanton, Cat On Form and Joeyfat. An inspired Kyote thought to consider: "Pollen melts the
snow"." Rob Mclure- OppositionT
"Kyote swing in a post-punk, post-rock kinda way, switch tempo, build loudly then go pop! We reckon they sound like the bastard child of Slint and Pavement. And hes a really cool bastard." Steve Nolan- HitorMiss
"Kyote are a joyous revival of, what I like to call, post modernism
hardcore. This is hard driven guitar bass and drums under a wash of reflective spoken word vocals. One of the most original live bands we've stumbled upon in a long time. Fans of the Fall, Joeyfat, Slint and anything good will not be disappointed" Noisestar.co.uk
DEMO REVIEWS;
"The Kyote sound is also a mostly gentle affair, reminding this dog of acts
like The National, or Arab Strap, hmm or maybe like Joeyfat being dragged
backwards through a forest of dead leaves, reading from a poetry book with
half the pages missing. Indeed! Their songs have cleverly twisting tune
structures and obliquely portentous lyrics. Wing your heads to the website, these guys are definitely onto something." Smoking Beagle.com
"Beautifully packaged CDR release/demo callitwhatyouwant. It has a hand written quote inside it, mine's from Woody Allen. I hope it's a different one in each CD. Kyote play a sort of downbeat indie rock that recalls Arab Strap if I was being lazy (I'm sure that's the not the first time they've heard that) though The New Year is a better comparison due to the economy of the playing (it states the EP was recorded live). The band sounds a little embyonic at times, the riffs are sometimes of the kind where they go exactly where you think they will. In a time of insanely complex mathematical bands who end up sounding like a Spectrum 48K cassette loading, this is no bad thing. And like The New Year and Bedhead there's this tension created by the band constantly sounding like they could suddenly drop a rock-out with no problems at all, they're just choosing not to. Good stuff." Chris Summerlin, Diskant
"on record they're a bit like arab strap or new year, but live it all
morphs into something bigger, reminding these oft drunken ears of the
broken social scene or maybe even the genius of bailterspace" theoryofnothing recordsI edited my profile withThomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
