"...their use of a cello, something I've not really seen used as a lead instrument in rock 'n' roll since Isobel Campbell left Belle and Sebastian, and in this case it sounded excellent as did the rest of the band."

"Wire Jesus are special. Very special indeed."
Linda Serck bbc.co.uk
"They are a highly impressive group, combining the usual acoustic rock accoutrements with accordions and cellos. If this, along with the male/female lead vocals, suggests an affinity with bands such as the Arcade Fire, then good, as on a number of songs they captured the dramatic tension, musical sophistication and epic aspiration of the Canadian wonders."

"Wire Jesus have it all. People call it X-factor and that is perhaps the best description. Somewhere between their emotional intensity, sheer ragged beauty (the best kind), stories of human significance and insignificance and heart wrenching melodies can be found a dominant artistry, a decadent coherency, and above all a very real talent which at the moment burns very bright indeed.
Josaka.co.uk"Success will surely follow."

"Too good to be true. If only it were a fair world we could never afford such a band."
