"When you hear an unsigned band and by the middle of the song forget they’re unsigned you know it’s good. London-based foursome The Brent Flood is that band. Lyrically intelligent and musically brilliant, every track on their third self-published offering, The Autumn 2007 EP could be in the charts today" - Music-News.com

Somewhere in deepest, darkest Tooting this Anglo-Irish quartet is gathering momentum, living under one roof and sharing musical ideas in the basement like germs... After reaching the finals of the Nationwide O2 battle of the bands in late 2006 The Brent Flood appeared on Playmusic Magazine's cover-mount CD of the best UK unsigned music, were listed in Music-news.com’s Top 10 Unsigned Bands of 2007 and were victorious at the 2008 Indy Awards in the category of Best Indie.

“A brilliant example of engaging British song writing…Bursting with delicious melodies to chew over” - Playmusic Magazine

“This is not retro, this is something new, and this band could only exist now. Or maybe in the future.” - Bandman.co.uk
