Sounds Like: Dirty guitar riffs, melodic with a psychedlic swirl, driving rock-a-billy rythms with occasional violent assults on the old sound catchers!never contradicting - rock'n'roll at its purist! - 27Brigade
Their material is different yet comfortably familiar. Individual yet encompassing enough to embrace new ears. - BBC Leicester
I could just write here...'Simply Rock and Roll at it's best'. .....27 Brigade break the mould and bring back rock to its original best. .....27 Brigade would not look out of place playing in venues like Camden Barfly and I hope that this is what lies in store for these lads in the near future. - Demos Reviewed
27Brigade.........were tight, original and immediately catchy. - Loughborough Echo
