For SAVAGES, the intention was to create a sound, indestructible and musically solid, written for the stage, designed with enough nuances to provide a wide range of emotions. The songs aim to remind us that human beings haven’t evolved so much, that music can still be straight to the point, efficient and exciting.
SAVAGES display more aggression, desire and determination than pretty much every guitar group you’re likely to see in 2012, combining all the best bits of all your favourite dark, louche bands and twisting out of them an astonishing freshness, presence and spirit all of their very own”
- The Quietus
“Violence and domestication rub against each other on London four-piece SAVAGES‘ debut single, through shards of hysteria, orgasm and indignance, exposing evil and chaos, a bristling power struggle possessed of a single, addictively nihilistic aim”
- Pitchfork
“Their intense mixture of howling psychedelia and swing-heavy, dub-tinted rhythm section destroys all-comers”
- The Stool Pigeon
