'Slydigs are surely the saviours of modern rock'n'roll, the pure energy of this album is quite astounding! One of our favourite albums of 2012.'
Garry Lee. Starship Overflow.com
'Hands down, utter perfection. Not a foot put wrong on these blistering, furious, roaring choons..."electric love" is simply magnificent..and with the strong vibes of Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian and The Verve bursting from the seams, it reminds me of just how good solid, uncluttered rock n roll should be!' Mike White. Mike White Presents.
'Slydigs are one of the most catchy new bands I've heard in ages: the new single 'The Love That Keeps On Giving' and the bouncy title track both bear all the hallmarks of bona fide indie rock anthems. 9/10.' Rich Deakin. Vive Le Rock.

SLYDIGS - NEVER TO BE TAMED
'Slydigs' are the latest spectacular find for 'Flicknife Records'. An Alternative/Underground label in it for the long-haul, who have previously given us the likes of Hawkwind, Erazerhead & Inner City Unit, come up with yet another amazing band.

Following two 9/10 reviews in the music press, HMV have sensibly seen the huge commercial potential of SLYDIGS' 'Never To Be Tamed' and are now stocking it in all their stores in the UK and Ireland. They've also upped the ante at www.hmv.com and have made the CD available for free delivery in the UK. The greatest new indie rock band in the country continue their forward march!

On first listen, Slydigs’ debut album counjours images of Northern industrial towns, populated by messy-haired and bearded trendy boys in tight trousers and checked shirts. A quick Google search confirms this– Slydigs are all of the above.
Although this genre is heavily saturated with this common image, there’s something refreshing in Slydigs’ sound. They combine catchy guitar riffs, echoing drums and haunting guitar licks to great effect. Lead singer Dean Fairhurst’s grainy and gritty vocals are both quirky and interesting. The beat creeps up on you like the ghosts of new wave past, mixing seventies glam, eighties lyricism, and noughties rock. There’s enough energy there to keep the listener interested but not so much that it feels unnatural or pretentious.
The influences of bands ranging from The Rolling Stones to The Stone Roses can be heard throughout Never To Be Tamed. The Love That Keeps On Giving is a catchy track that will be stuck in the listeners head for days. Wait Forever will have the listener tapping their toe while single Electric Love is sure to be a real stand out track when performed live. Final track Ain’t No Place Like Nowhere demonstrates a stunning vocal performance from Fairhurst as well as an addictive quality which will leave the listener wanting more.
Simply put, the songs on Never To Be Tamed are punchy and to the point. They are just fun, guitar based rock songs. Slydigs have the potential to be a real hit if they manage to break away from the instantly arising, in your face stereotypes.

We here at the Killarney Grand offer live bands 7 nights a week, 12 months of the year. With a venue so busy, this is a premier spot for bands to ply their trade and a very high standard is demanded by both management and patrons alike. However every now and again you see something special and unique in a band, and this was certainly the case when we unearthed the SLYDIGS almost 12 months ago. To say they have made a name for themselves here in Killarney would be a massive understatement as they have built up a staggering fan base with their no-holds-barred style of rock and soulful blues. Interest in the band has snowballed since their first gig and we are unindated with requests regards their future shows. As a music promoter the only advice I can offer Dean and lads is to keep doing what yer doing cause ye are most definitely doing it right!! I predict a massive future for this particular bunch of lads and look forward to have been part of their journey on the road to inevitable success
Regards,
James O Connor,
Entertainment Manager
