Press

““A record of grooveable nastiness, ear drum shredding noise and unpredictable quirks” 4/5”

— MMP

““If you like your music original, scuzzy, fun and catchy, look no further” 9/10 ”

— Deadly Rhythm

““A frothy-gobbed half hour thrill ride worthy of attention” 9/10 ”

— Drop-D

"Remarkably smart and focused - dark, devastatingly good music"

— BBC Online

““Intense, sweaty and claustrophobic; energetic enough to power your street” 8/10 ”

— This Is Fake DIY

““Memorable moment after memorable moment...a staggering wall of sound” 8/10”

— Rock Sound

““Raucous, noisy fun – This is the beginning – Resistance is futile” KKKK ”

— Kerrang!

“Exit_International are a guitar-free trio who hail from Cardiff in Wales, where their low-end propulsion delivers equal parts crunch and bounce. What makes Sex With Strangers so appealing to me is how the songs work as both antisocial misanthrope fodder (ie, the ’90s discography of the Amphetamine Reptile and Touch And Go labels), as well as booty-movin’ dancefloor fillers with a slight twinge of old-school glam rock (check out “Chainsaw Song”). Justin Pearson, the All Leather squealer and bassist for the Locust, is remixing a few E_I tracks for some nefarious purposes. If you love to listen to your rock in short, sharp shocks while rubbing up against sexy pole dancers and ugly, homicidal, biker dudes, I’ve got a band for you…”

— Alternative Press

“Two bassists and a drummer fuel this band. Strange huh? But they manage to flesh out their sound with all sorts of beats and 'toys'. Essentially, the bass-heavy trio come up with gritty rock, enthused with yelps in all the right places and promising decimating live performances. This EP is four tracks of potentially crushing material that begs to be experienced in a live setting but is also a fun rock ‘n’ roll experience in its own right. Aptly titled 'Sex W/ Strangers', you'll feel a bit like you've done something naughty with someone you knew nothing about after listening to it.”

— Vive Le Rock

“Exit International really do make for a dazzling departure from rock orthodoxy.”

— The Fly

“ ......“Lights Out” is even more Left-Futurist – especially in the verses with their manic monotone mantra lyrics delivered through clenched jaws beneath furrowed brows — and “Lay To Waste” brings things to a close more suddenly than a high street mugging in broad daylight; this is short sharp brutality at its least pretentious and most snappy. If you’ve ever wished Falco and company would really cut loose and drop the oblique weirdness in favour of flat-out fun and fury, this is the band for you. Exit International make music to smash windows to, so grab your brick and your balaclava; I’ll meet you in the car park behind Tesco in half an hour.”

— Rock-Metal-Music

“A chance encounter with this band in Cardiff Barfly left our faces impressed and lucky not to have been torn from our skulls. Newly signed to Undergroove (TGOAT, Minus The Bear), Exit International's début EP is a concise burst of ferocity. Comparisons to fellow countrymen Future Of The Left will be easy to make; with a similarly frantic, pulsing intensity to their delivery, the dry wit of their humour and the fact they can craft songs like 'Sex W/ Strangers' - songs that make you feel like you've been punched in the face while simultaneously making you want to shake your rump. Vocalist Scott Andrews is a screaming, howling nutcase, and the twin bass and drums assault gives every throbbing riff that much more of a punch. With each song under two and a half minutes this four track EP is over way too quickly, but that is the only thing there is to dislike about this intense, impressive release.”

— Rock Midgits

“Shoring up their two-bass, one drummer credentials with their first single ‘Sex W/ Strangers’, Welsh rockers Exit_International finally unleash their highly-awaited EP. Both stark and raw, in stripping down their sound to a scuzzy minimum there’s a detectable punk influence howling beneath the surface. Momentum resides mostly in ex-Midasuno man Scott Andrews’ snarling lyrics and demented screams, however, clenched anger is set against bruising rock that’s both menacing and enticing – especially on ‘Chainsaw Song’. Straight to the point, there are no drawn out epics here, just intoxicatingly good music.”

— Faye Lewis, Rock Sound

“Exit_International open proceedings. They do so by opening up holes in your head. They are LOUD. With a capital ouch. Their-two-bass-and-drums assault is a body-moving racket that’s aggressive but makes you want to shake your ass for the duration of their set. ‘Sex With Strangers’, ‘Bowie’s Ghost’ and ferocious closer ‘Hey Disciple’ leave an impression on the crowd and a ringing in the ears that will last for days. Their new album will come out later in the year, and on this evidence it’ll be a blinder. And a deafener.”

— Phill May, This Is Fake DIY

“EXIT_INTERNATIONAL Sex W/ Strangers (Undergroove) KKKK Debut EP from challenging Brit Post-Hardcore outfit. Sex W/ Strangers is the sound of a band taking dynamite to the rules and throwing a grenade at expectations. That's the beauty of their experimental take on post-hardcore: it doesn't go for the obvious angle. Instead, it makes the listener do the work by paying attention and trying to make sense of it all. And while, on first hearing, this four-tracker might make you feel like you've been clouted around the head, that's because it's a musical wake-up call; a reaction to boring, obvious music with basslines like cannons and vocals like demented cavalry calls. By fusing At The Drive-In's skewiff intelligence and a belief in the listener's ability to not need spoon-feeding. Exit International have created something truly great here. DOWNLOAD: Chainsaw Song. FOR FANS OF: At The Drive-In, The Blood Brothers.”

— Kerrang!

"...a grinding onslaught that would be prudish to describe as anything less than fucking brutal...the whole outfit show a tightness rarely seen in the genre. Throughout thier set, they mix the fuzzed no-nonsense balls of Shellac with occasional hints of disco pop melodic sensibilties, and the whole package is put across with such conviction and sincerity that it's practicaly impossible not to be dragged in by the sheer gravity of it all. As they finish their set with lunging and screaming into their amps, the stunned audience prove that this band is clearly not for the faint of heart"

— Epigram Magazine (Swn Review)

“'It's plain to see by the hoard of snappers hovering around the tiny stage that there's already a buzz surrounding them....The three piece smash out tunes into oblivion with rip-roaring ferocity' (8/10) ”

— Rock Sound

"....Two bass guitars which duel each other for supremacy using a deadly arsenal of fuzz boxes. I'd hazard a guess that the band's hobbies include audio terrorism, and eh...well, that's probably it - but they're definatly worth seeing!"

— Artrocker Magazine

".....completely diamond brilliant by the way, double basslines bubbling dementedly, distorted vocals itching and cutting through your brain. Girls Against Boys are an obvious touchstone, but mixed with a lot of feral rock action, it all becomes scarier and funner. Yes, funner. One of the best sights of 2009."

— The Joy Collective
