This sound is unobtainable to anyone lacking single minded devotion to rock and roll. Tight, insatiable rhythms somehow contain the raw energy stirred up by powerful, impassioned vocals. All is irresistibly engaging, all conspiring to set this band apart from fashionable pretenders. Old Basford have tapped into rock and rolls’ main artery and share its life blood with influences such as Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Keys and The Band 

"This rules. An amalgam of Skynyrd and Grand Funk Railroad. Whisky drenched finger picking and barroom belligerence"  
Kerrang 4/5 

"The bastard offspring of Clutch and Queens Of The Stone Age with a bit of ZZ Top thrown in for good measure" -
Rocksound 

"This is magnificent, thrilling music. Like it belongs to another era, one where they would be lauded as champions. It's heart warming smiling inducing rock bliss. Album of the year without doubt - if it weren't an EP that is"

Herds - rising like a phoenix from the ashes of Nottingham band the amber herd, they have built on what came before and expanded it to a whole new dynamic, yet still maintaining their relentless swagger. Psych-tinged progressive Indie has never been so good!
