"The swell of good-natured ska-punk bedlam sees Sonic Boom Six (KKKK) playing to a full house; once the bodies are in they can't help but move. Clashing activism and good-times with Piggy In The Middle and snappy new track Karma Is A Bitch, the multicultural crew could seem a little worthy, but revolution never sounded so much like celebration." - Kerrang!

"Sonic Boom Six pack an entire festival's worth of genres into their set. By taking ska, pop, grime, dubstep, punk and metal apart, then rebuilding them as a hyperactive hybrid they certainly grab attention. With the English Defence League on the streets and David Cameron making curious comments about multiculturalism, the positive energy rush these Manc street preachers inspire isn't just Day-Glo fun, but also a necessary reminder to tear down the walls of prejudice."

"Sharp of mind and socially-conscious, there's nothing about Sonic Boom Six that doesn't come from the heart. Their shiny punk reggae hip-hop sound addresses real issues with a more productive vibe than these riot-strewn streets have seen recently, and tonight, they're on fire"

“Be it on a festival stage or down your local boozer, there isn't really a bad place to catch Sonic Boom Six whose compelling mash-up of street-punk, reggae and ska could lighten up any dark corner.”

“They’re one of the most truly stimulating live bands ever to whip an apathetic crowd into devotion, and their grassroots army of support stands testament to that. What’s more, their billing is a victory and inspiration for everyone who writes songs with their mates and dreams of something better”

“It's taken a while but Sonic Boom Six are rocketing out of the underground - a hefty shot of ska-punk, hip-hop, reggae and even jungle in the mix, not to mention big, sinuous rock dynamics and hooks.”

“It might have taken until their third album for SB6 to break the UK underground's glass-ceiling, but their massive grassroots following practically guarantees success for City of Thieves. The fact it's a fantastic stew of punk, ska and hip-hop helps too; finally, their time has come.”

“Grand statement time: Sonic Boom Six are, simply, the most exciting live punk band in the country. They cater for chin-stroking social commentators, wide-eyed rave kids and big-shorted punkers all in the space of a single gig and will - yup, will - own 2009”

“This isn't good, it's way beyond that and deep into the realms of something special. A hundred word analysis cannot do this album justice, so let's just say it's one fucking excellent album and get on with our lives? Agreed? Agreed.”

“Sonic Boom Six have always been one of the most diverse and inventive bands to get lumped into the British punk scene. It's smart, joyous music that has plenty to say and does so eloquently.”
