“Sampling one part 1940’s style jazz with two parts rap doesn’t happen very often and when it does happen it’s usually terrible. Top marks then for Big Band Theory which tastefully does what most fail to do.”
Blues & Soul Magazine
“Tough Touch are an example of how underground artists can come out with something fresh and appealing without sounding like the rest of the UK Hip Hop scene or resorting to the kind of thing that litters the radio waves nowadays.”

"The Big Band Theory is a seriously heavyweight hip hop record! Fusing big band sounds with incredibly well
constructed vocals parts, its surely set to be one of the records that helps to re-establish Bristol as the
Hip Hop capital of the UK." -
DJ Cheeba (Solid Steel/Detectives of Perspective)
“On the main stage at Grosvenor Green there were plenty of acts to keep people happy until the small hours of Sunday morning, including Tough Touch, Funkesteins, Planetman and reggae ambassador Earl 16 and his band The Soothsayers.”
