'i won't change take me as you find me'
harem pilots - charliewhat the press thinks
As Harem Pilots take to the stage there was a sense of anticipation, when they start the musical aggression & energy from the band burst through the dam & swept me along with it, struggling to control my desire to jump up & down, a punch in the nuts for musical apathy. Harem Pilots drew me into their world. Forget the comparisons with other bands of their genre and go see them before they fly away, out of the pubs and the small venues.

'These guys are great, they deserve a massive record deal. If you like any kind of rock, take a look.' teaandtoast.blogspot.com
'Yesterday's show was a mutant monster. Harem Pilots played three spine tingling acoustic tracks. It was Suck My Sound's first ever 'real room' sesh! Phil, Leigh and Dave from the band, created absolute shandygaff mayhem. We got them back by setting them to work on new jingles for the show (the Pilots already provide our Golden Manc Oldie theme).' - suckmysound.org
'Their demo (Bang) has been recorded up nicely and gives a taster of what music their is about, they have a really strong sound.' - bbc - one music
'This was THE most well-received set of a night packed with the cream of Manchester's emerging musical talent ... a confidence and panache that separates them from the rest of the Manchester scene ... shows promise that could catapult them into the big league' - glasswerk.co.uk (reviewing Academy Unsigned 1)
'Reasonably morbid dirge-rock 4-piece guitar band from Manchester (but not) which actually sounds different from all the other Manchester Bands that are knocking about the circuit.' - drownedinsound.com
'Check this new band from Manchester out, I saw them last week at the Night and Day and they really blew me away' - drownedinsound.com

My favourite song was Charlie. It reminded me of Muse. Are you allowed to say things like that, or is it insulting? See you on MTV Nederland! - Rebecca Morrin
I thought your new song was great (Last Days) I thought the intro was very REM. - James Bolton
They hit their stride with "Icarus" the strong riffs were impressive, and continued onto the next track, the Daily Mail irritating, "Cunts". Some impressive guitar solos, and a delighful crescendo ending, there is a good rapport between the band and the audience - Tom Roberts
i love your songs, and i wanna play along to a few of em. u guys rocked the primrose yesterday! lovin it - Martin Coward
Just been listening to the jukebox and your songwriting has come on leaps and bounds! I particularly liked 'Charlie'. Angry but, sincere. Nice one - Tom Robertson
