Partly Faithful / Press

"Post-punk demon worshippers having a particularly nightmarish comedown... The band take influence from Pornography era Cure via Echo & The Bunnymen and Bauhaus to create spidery and hypnotic meditations."

"from the same ideological background as some of the undergrounds most steadfast figures such as The Chapman Family, Cold In Berlin, Ulterior, Neurotic Mass Movement and Selfish Cunt – they will follow their own path."

"Harnessing an array of emotions such as anger, resentment and a sense of social disillusionment Partly Faithful layer these themes through stories of vitriolic romanticism entwined with a wry sense of bitterness... They will be having a release partly on Sunday 22nd April with Special Guests and it has also been announced that they will be playing the OFFICIAL after show party for THE HORRORS on Friday 25th May. A full tour will be announced shortly."

“It's sunny outside and Spring looks like it's finally raising a bleary head. However, ever contrary, we at SupaJam Towers have decided to pull the curtains, switch off the lights, light the candles, smear on some eyeliner, and crank out the chilly post punk made by moody new London 4 piece Partly Faithful.”

“Things are kept tight and simple, there's no unnecessary instrumentation and this economical approach means these four tracks stay true to the ethics laid down by the bands who inspired them. 'Partly Faithful' is a web of spidery guitars, moody bass and forbidding drum thuds. It's a crisp sound and is taken a step further on 'Just Fine' which could happily grace an early Cure or Bunnymen album, pushing the tempo forward. The stuttering 'Strange Disease' lays down some dark atmospherics, again it's moody and intense. 'Your Song' could be the EP's crowning moment, its hints of Joy Division-esque despair come over like a younger brother to 'Atmosphere', petering away on a static electric fuzz. As débuts go this is a sterling effort, and the good news is that this supergroup have every intention of continuing what they've started.”
