“The band bill themselves as ‘A small outfit with a big sound’ but this doesn’t do justice to the mighty accomplishments of
these two West Country performers. The cider with rosie, wooden skittles and smell of sawdust is never far away- not surprising for a band from Wootton Bassett, Swindon but the two punksters-extraordinaire also project an authentic and very urban sound and style- almost as alienating and as it is intense...A tactical assault on your sensibilities… walk the fine line between hope and despair with 2 Sick Monkeys as soon as you can… it is essential.”
Neil Mach - Staines Weblog
“High energy, fast paced, attitude punk...They seem to be able (with just a bassist and drummer) to incorprate well timed, complex punk with more tuneful and catchy punk riffs...definitely a band to see live.”
Vick - Green Rooms website
“The crowd watched in amazement to what they were seeing, not a word ushered but head banging by the audience, a positive sign. The reception received by the band was fantastic, and their set just went from strength to strength, which twinned with the persona of the lead singer make this band a 'must see punk band'.”
Adam Burse - Death Monkey Records Blog
“Fred Nus and Pete Tower are skilled musicians; the velocity drumming (Fred), pulsating bass (Pete) and tongue twister lyrics synchronise in an incongruous mind meld that bores into the brain.”
