Quotes about Dayward

(DAYWARD: "Stop! Amber! Go!" (White Label)
RELEASED? Out now.
SOUNDS LIKE? Cool and lazily kraut rocking stuff with "Stop! Amber! Go!", it's pepped and popped up with snappy synth bombs, guitar snarls and olde arcade game style noises, and you know what? The louder it is, the better it sounds, make it throb, baby, and they do. There's more, "I Think I Saw You Today For A Reason" is one of the few genuinely quirky tracks out there, which is to say that you can dig the Ray Davies diddling Rolf Harris vibe and listen to it more than twice without running wild with a chainsaw. We kind of thought, or hoped that "Ice Cream" would be a cover of the El Spoonio classic, it isn't, though it uses the same creepy-kid voice sample to end up melting the ice of They Came From The Stars I Saw Them with the eternal cream of The Boy Most Likely To.
IS IT ANY GOOD? It's too good for us, so you can fuck right off.

'To top it all off Dayward return with a new single "Stop Amber Go" On their own usurp records. As Ive mentioned before Electro is starting to get a little wearing right now with its omnipitent presence in the UK but every now and then somethign piques the interest and so it is that an injection of a playful grit to proceedings here giving a Drury edged tone. Always wilfully obscure (Here coming on like a more minimal version of "The Normal") This is the gleeful meeting of post punk and electronic sugar pop. Awesome stuff.' Old age hipster

'While this kind of technicolour electro pop is finding much press attention lavished on it right now few have caught the ear more than Bristolians Dayward. Offering an intelligent considered alternative to the posturing nonsense all over the front page of the NME, the two pieces second single looks set to build on the success of the debut (Which recieved radio support from BBC 6 Music among others) and should hopefully see them cropping up on more mainstream radars this summer' Team Sugar.com

'Treading a fine line between the gritty urban details of the Blockheads and the happy go lucky synth fuelled pop of Hot Chip, with great results. Picking up where debut single "Ice Cream" left off, "...Reason" is already garnering more attention to the band and sets a high watermark for the debut album to follow.' Old Age Hipster.com

'...Things like brilliant films, or fancy new restaurants or, in today's case, an excellent electronic group making sonic waves in the West Country. The future's looking sexy already.' Interestment.co.uk

'An excellent new song from Bristol' Interestment.co.uk
