Bright Black is bursting with the earnest romance of Gothic poetry tinged with the ennui of 21st-century
dystopia.
— POST PUNK MAGAZINE
Exciting post-punk replete with scything, mountainous guitars and a thunderous, pounding, insistent rhythm that sets the pulse racing.
— BACKSEAT MAFIA
Something of Bowie running through the proceedings which blend a strange pre-punk accessibility and a post-punk chill into an alternative dance song par excellence.
— THE BIG TAKEOVER
A gutsy slab of avante pop that you won’t soon forget...a band that has bright things in store for it, even if the music is deliciously dark.
— POP MATTERS
(They) build punchy and elegant pop songs, awash with the specter of Bowie and his disciples – Echo and The Bunnymen, Peter Murphy, Siouxsie Sioux – while also nodding to the sound of 1960’s Ronnie Spector.
— LOUDER THAN WAR
Roxanne offers the sweetest of subtle new wave fog, seducing the senses with hints of post-punk vocal charm and early 2000’s scenester cred.
— ALL THINGS GO
Rumbling, viscerally noirish, and garnished with glimmering switchblade guitars and driving percussion, Bright Black clambers through the darkest of tunnels and into the light.
— GOD IS IN THE TV
London Plane are on my list as leading the pack of rock bands who comment on the human condition.
— PUNK ROCK BEAT
These songs are all tight, energy-packed and full of venom and fire. Forty full minutes pass by and you always want to know what’s around the corner. There are no detours into unwieldy narrative, or else, self-indulgent solos and noodling. These tales are short, sharp and barbed.
— IS THIS MUSIC?
Combines the wall-of-sound of Phil Spector and the Ronettes with the sultry edginess of the Psychedelic Furs at one level and Siouxsie and the Banshees at another.
— PENNY BLACK MUSIC UK
Dark arrangements complement the sophisticated and warm vocals of lead singer, CiCi James.
— THE DELI
London Plane reaches new depths of goth pop. With rock undertones and electropop vibes, this 6-piece outfit shoots for the moon and lassos it twice.
— INDIE BAND GURU
London Plane’s “New York Howl” is a love song for fhe dark urban jungle.
— AUPIUM
From the pulsing title track, to the bustling Cloud Light, and the brooding Make It On Our Own, the songs themselves reverberate the themes of Francis’ diary.
— REAL GONE ROCKS
There is an expansive and powerful feel to ‘New York Howl’ right from the beginning. The six piece band provide a tight and cohesive sound behind the soaring and melodic vocals, all done with a sense of drama and anticipation.
— BEEHIVE CANDY
