..The Spills make a quite unholy, visceral noise straight from the depths of their bellies’ Dom Gourlay, Contactmusic.com

..By the time the Spills take to the stage everyone has sprung to life. The band has grown in confidence recently allowing the songs to shine brighter than before. They are an undoubted highlight of the whole weekend’ Rob Dee, LTB weekender review

..The Spills were frantic as ever, youthful, energetic, and above all a great prospect for the future...’ Captain Benno, the Rhubarb Bomb

..The Spills to have great edge. You must listen to ‘Testing’’ Tasha Pert, Sandman Magazine

..The Spills slip in- and- out of songs like they were mere punctuation points’ Jay Lawrance, the Rhubarb Bomb

..Yet another credit to the Mecca of Wakefield’ Sandman Magazine

..Safety in Numbers could well be a small anthem for Wakefield.’ Jason Wakefield, single review

..As the band become one big heaving sweaty mass of musical mayhem, but well orchestrated mayhem mind you’ Chris Oddy, Leeds Music Guru


..Energy was not a problem however when it came to The Spills’ performance - before they even got anywhere near the stage the crowd seemed to suddenly double in number (and pushiness). Bounding their way through an exhilarating set of grungy art rock, they pretty much stole the show - their rhythm guitarist took the mic for what initially sounded like it was going to be a slightly more mellow track, but no sooner had the crowd got their breath back than they were plunged back into a full-on, punchy assault with a catchy chromatic riff that kept everybody fired up until the band were long gone’ Cat Millar, Sandman Magazine
