Press

“We don’t really know what PUi means or why the “U” is capitalized. But we do know that the New York-based gypsy metal warrior-lookalikes put on a really riveting show! Between a snake charming belly dancer, intimidating abs, hefty body paint, and a unique Arabic folk metal sound, it’s no surprise that the group sold out their performance at Highline Ballroom on March 18th. Dressed like they were rearing for battle, the band — who you recognize from our Top 10 Gypsy Punk. Frankly, you’ll do a lot more than clap at a PUi show. You’ll lose your sh**.”

— Isabela Raygoza, MTV Iggy

“Probably one of the most original bands in the country, the PUi tribe combines mediterranean music with hard hitting Rock music. Their stage show is like no other and their socially conscious lyrics definitely sets them apart. Lead by NC Shuva, PUI stands out for being a professional band with a serious mission: to change music forever.”

— Jo Schuftan, Horns Up Rocks

“ “For The Gods” was a terrific track and as the opener it just brought you into the head that the band was trying to get you to be in. I couldn’t say that they reminded me of anything or anyone else and that’s a good thing since it remains unique. ”

— Ken Pierce, Piercing Metal

“If you only see one act, make sure to see PUi. Their debut EP is impressive for such a relatively new act and their live show is an aggressive display of heavy rock riffs over Middle Eastern beats is not to be missed. ”

— Blackraptor, Blackraptor Blog

“ PUi celebrate the metal bizarre, calling you out to listen to their EP – You Will Clap - ‘Freak Cabaret’ creates interesting imagery as they manhandle their guitars and max out the vocals. ”

— Starr Tucker, NY Waste

“I appreciated the unique instrumentation, blend of western/middle eastern influences and the raw intensity of the performances.I look forward to hearing more from Pui!”

— Producer, Kyle Kelso (Breaking Benjamin)
