“If Julian Clary, Snagglepus and Richard Simmons formed a band they wouldn’t be anywhere near as hot as the Blow Waves … fusing punk, disco and rock to birth a damn fine sound … miss them and cry like Britney.”

Time Out
“The Blow Waves have blown in from Australia on a wave of critical acclaim from their recent European tour … dirty beats, dirty times and dirty underwear!”

“Certainly a band that makes an impression, the Blow Waves have been mixing punk, disco and glam rock since 2006. We dare you to find another band in the country with such an eccentric style (and sound to match), and putting on such a high energy rock show.”

“Alternative pop fans will be familiar with the voice promising to create mayhem on this track. Matt 'Doll' Thomas (aka Matt from the Mavis's) is one of the creative minds behind this dark electronic pop gem, while Pseudo Echo's Brian Canham was behind the controls.”

“Melbourne party band the Blow Waves pride themselves on delivering a high-energy live performance that is so hot some audience members have taken their clothes off ... The band members describe their music as 'disco punk' with a B-52s/Dead or Alive feel.”

The Independent
“The Blow Waves are hardly lacking in cred either. The five piece electro "post disco" outfit fronted by the steamy Matt 'Doll' Thomas of the Mavis's fame have spent the past 18 months touring with a handful of tracks.”

“The disco-punk five-piece, The Blow Waves, born from the ashes of the Mavis's and Love Outside Andromeda, are touring nationally. The Mavis's formed in Ballarat by Matt 'Doll' Thomas and his sister Beki (1996-2001) earned four ARIA nominations.”

Gold Coast Bulletin
“The Blow Waves are easily the best live band in Melbourne at the moment. Not only do they deliver the goods musically, they have a stage presence that is both endearing and totally cool.”

“The Blow Waves’ garish costumes, a bright clash between New Romantic and punk, ensure they’re hard to miss ... The band has a strong queer fan base, but their cock rock sound is by no means restricted to a particular demographic.”

Rip It Up
“Knife-edge guitars, psyched-out keyboards and playful/dirty lyrics, their singer sports and bath robe, their bearded bassist is clean in a leather daddy cap, while their keyboardist camps it up in a football jersey. Clearly, this quartet aren’t what you’d call shy and retiring.”

“The performance is a raunchy trashfest and is epitomised by the bands desire to have random underwear thrown... it is fair to say that if one would want to have a trashy party one would want the Blow Waves to provide the entertainment.”
