Bly by my and other older material were also heard on an in depth interview with Bruce and Piet on Radio Platorand.With BruceBleed as the energetic frontman, PoisonPiet with his unique sound on guitar, Dewald vd Wel on a busy bass and Earl Devereux-Quicke on thumping drums, Wysdiman does rock ‘n roll in Afrikaans which is unheard of at this point in time.The Media says:"In fact they do a very good impression of a punk band on the verge of total meltdown, in some ways a lot more authentic than the some much more successful bands out there, with their vocalist truly leaping around like a mad thing, as if possessed by some chaotic punk demon. Very impressive." - taken from review on www.darksideforum.co.za"Vanaf Dagman Nagman se gatskop intro tot die laaste klanke van Klaaglied se rou agro en riffs wat beslis hul besigheid ken, laat waai hierdie ouens sonder keer." Jip Volksblad EP Resensie"Their mother tongue grunged-up rock social commentary blended with crazy and energetic live performances – borderline mass hysteria - provides for more than a good song or two, but an explosive experience into the world that is Wysdiman." www.streetlamp.co.za
