The Band:" Not happy merely just performing, filmaking, acting, managing and promoting themselves Chinafight actually find time to write some distinguished alt. pop gems. Think of contemporaries like Maximo Park without the bleeding heart or Art Brut without the pretentiousness and replace these weary attributes with an infectious enthusiasm for life and a staunch, independently motivated work ethic. Whether pondering a second, the ubiquitous subject of relationship breakdowns or greeding after a bottle of wine lead singer Marcus manages to somehow circumvent the bile bitterness that many a songwriter would fall for and treats these subjects with a bohemian carelessness and humorous irreverence. Set behind an 60s analogue garage band racket and you have a compelling underground phenomena ready to explode."Badrobot.co.uk (March 14th 2007)

" When most bands these days proclaim themselves to be rock and roll, you often have to take it with a pinch of salt. Fortunately for those of us assembled in dirty Camden Underworld, Chinafight are an energetic exception to the ever growing rules of the popular press. Chinafight show that actions are louder than words. In fact, they already have a legacy of gig-induced broken bones behind them - ouch! I worry for their health and safety. Maybe its my age."
August 10, 2006 Becky, (July 21st 2005), Chinafight Camden Underworld
" The rip roaring enthusiasm of this band makes them glow, and makes us glow... You're left breathless and hungry for more. "
" With Chinafight there isn't just music there is a movement, oh and a few trips to casualty when maniacally vibrant frontman Marcus breaks his jaw from thrashing around so much, as indeed was the case not long ago. Shake his hand and it is limp from another gigging injury. If this isn't dedication to the cause then what is frankly. The guy can't help it, you see a visible surge ripple through his lithe limbs as he belts out raspy Kings Of Leon vocals behind some good old indie rock 'n' roll." -Linda Serk, BBC.
" Crowd pullers Chinafight [grace] the stage after notching up recent support slots for the notorious Fun Loving Criminals and The Warlocks. With an inimitable sound and image these crazy kids will go far and beyond. The Indie four piece with Velvet Underground, early Japan and the Pixies cited as their major influences, have you mesmerised by their bohemian art-house approach to the world of rock and roll!"
" Vastly growing in popularity in the underground areas of London, [Chinafight's] live shows more often than not involve ripping up the venues and breaking their bones all in the name of rock and roll. (Fire marshalls you have been warned!)
But this circus of sleaze style groove has a soundtrack that takes indie rock and roll to it's limits. Their song "Sorry" being a roller-coaster juxtapose of pretty melodic vocals of Julian Casablancas one minute, but then growing into a shambolic storm of Kings of Leon-esque growling the next. Guitars chugging with rhythm until its inevitable whirring explosion at the end.
Check out Jack Bauer... Fantastic song that will never leave your head EVER!" -Yvonne Mckeown, Sandman.
" Chinafight open the night with their blend of Vines and laid-back 1960s rock n roll inspired tracks. The front man steals the show. With Stella and tambourine in tow, Marcus wanders around the stage adopting Mick Jagger and Steven Tyleresque poses. He really reminds me of Craig Nicholls and has a very erratic and rock n roll energy, compelling you to keep your eye on him throughout. As it turns out they are the most mesmerising band of the night." -Georgia Pravda, BBC.
Thanks to you all!
