Press

“Electro punk in the vein of Bloc Party with hints of Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers. Youthful punk energy, great!”

— Classico, Rock and Pop.com

“It's like a journey through modern indie rock hosted by some sort of mental neon disco nutter from the 80's. I like it.”

— Josh Swanson, The Playground

“A supersonic cosmic electronic rock that will certainly get your feet moving. This group is full of energy with quality live shows taking over the capital of England by storm with a fully accomplished sound. The band has its roots certainly in Electro rhythms but with a bit of Punk swag to match its a recipe for a great sound. Its dance worthy but certainly not just brainless electro crap, with good lyrics to go along with the funky beats The Naked Polaroids are a band definitely worth a listen.”

— AT, The Waterloo Unsigned

“This band manages to do what so many bands either fail to do, or do in a terrible way; they sound unique. The songs instantly made me want to dance and all the parts seem to gel really well together, great job!”

— Beyond Help, TopOfTheOx

“The Naked Polaroids are taking the London music scene by force with their punk attitude to electro rock wowing audiences throughout the capital.”

— Beats and Treats, Spoonfed

“This is one of the first bands I have actually listened to the whole track through, and then again. It has the ability to grab you from the intro and keeps you to the end. I was initially drawn to this band soley for the name, but the song is just as good. So many bands can fall into the self indulgent trap but "Outta Time" is well constructed and full of energy. I bet this sounds even better live and would be awesome to have a dance to. Nice work!”

— The Vertical State, TopOfTheOx

“Totally Brilliant Band.”

— Malcolm Wood, The Late Gig, Swindon 105.5FM

“High energy electro infused pop-punk from The Naked Polaroids will get you dancing!”

— Spoonfed

“Our next band comes courtesy of ‘Hot Beds’ and Hits of the Near Future’s very own Andy Quirk. For the last few months ‘The Naked Polaroids’ have been a staple of Andy’s radio show and its easy to see why. Combining infectious guitar hooks and killer dance beats, ‘The Naked Polaroids’ certainly make you sit up, listen and then dance the night away! Check out Lambrini Girls, a killer track available for the fantastic price of nothing!”

— Recharged Radio, Recharged Radio's Advent Calendar

“The sublimely addictive sounds of the Naked Polaroids will ensure that you get your groove well and truly on.”

— Phil Birch, Oxjam

The event showcases bands across a range of genres and spectrums, from folk to funk to blues to rock. It has something for everyone. Broadstock is very much a family festival, there's lots to keep the kids entertained and plenty for the adults to enjoy too. All proceeds from the festival goes back into the local community and / or towards local charities. We all very proud of the village of Crowhurst and grateful for the local support. An excellent range of local beers and ciders are available and a great range of culinary delights are on offer. Tickets for this event are limited!
