Rapids, The Mothers Ruin, May 13th
Rapids are playing The Mothers Ruin in Bristol on May 13th 2010.
Some press:
The 405 says "Huge sounding Indie music done by people that have a keen ear for making interesting, yet accessible music." http://www.thefourohfive.com/articles/2583
Artrocker say "The fractured guitars show the group have an adept feel for the racing energy of Bloc Party, and they make a marathon race between rhythm and melodic sections...Yes, Rapids! are definitely bright young things." http://www.artrocker.tv/live/article/rapids-club-fandango-buffalo-bar-london
John Kennedy played us on XFM saying he had "struck gold" by finding us...
Tasty Fanzine rated our EP 7/10 and had some good things to say... http://www.tastyfanzine.org.uk/singles95feb10.htm
The Fly say of us "Packed with a math-rock urgency akin to Foals and a dark, anthemic ability, Rapids! are the little brother's of Bloc Party with a more visceral, raw energy to them ."
Gill Mills of Best of Myspace & NME Radio says: "Coming on a bit Bloc Party, if Gordon and his mathy sensibilities were allowed more of a say."
