About Me


Big guitars, big melodies! A furious dynamic trio hailing from the south UK, playing their own sick & dirty self-branded New-wave punk/rock, with unfailing charisma you can nearly always shake a stick at. Oh f**k it! Just go see them!
"NO NON-SENSE ROCK AND ROLL!"
Most recent comparisons: Queens of the stone age, Husker Du, Foo fighters, Placebo, Electric Six and Toby the gender eating toad....
BOY GENIUS (live) 03/05/07
Press Release:
"... fast guitars and punchy lyrics....very competent musicians with catchy songs... a perfect punk pick-me-up...with their own brand of fast paced guitars and pop culture songs they are definitely making an impact...the three-piece entertain the crowd with songs about Superman, agoraphobia and teenage rebellion...ETHEL have everything to keep you entertained and wanting more...well worth checking out..." Christopher Kyriacou (BHONE.co.uk)
"...Picked up a copy of the EP for the ride home.... it was like having my nuts licked by a panther...in a good way!..." DUFF ('God is in the TV' Magazine)
"...New ep 'Gods Of TV' has six tracks featuring a chunky throbbing bass as prominent as the guitar power-chords, with yer pounding rock rhythm...this rock is tight, occasionally bluesy, slightly funky, but it is their ability to write razor sharp hooks which is where Ethel win...These guys know how to write a quality hook. Not a simple art. At its heaviest (and best) this approaches the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age and Foo Fighters...'Gods Of TV' does a pretty good job of replicating Ethel's excellent live sound. It's extremely well produced – clear and polished, but with enough dirt to make it rough around the edges. Ethel make rock fun, but lightweight this ain't...Ethel are no nonsense, no pretence, no bullshit and no lack of talent...‘Tis a good ‘un...
