The Wildcards Press Quotes
"This is one damn fine band who are one of the most exciting live acts around in any genres".
Plymouth Evening Herald, UK
"Rocka-punkabilly-power-swing-blues!"
Jefferson magazine, Denmark
"There’s been a lot of writing about the new generation of blues musicians that have the fire and passion that older musicians lack.
These guys don’t look like 20 somethings to me but the devilish energy drips from my speakers, the music is that filthy and passionate. Together with Nick Curran’s “Reform School Girl” this is already one of the best releases of 2010".
Marcel “De Schuur” Schuurman, www.bluesforum.com, Netherlands
"The Wildcards cannot be put in a hole! Blues, rhythm & blues, jazz, rock, rockabilly, gothic, jump, big
band, punk are just some of their influences. Pour all ingredients in a shaker or tumbler, firmly shake
and mix well and the result is the delicious Wildcards sound, raw, to the point, irresistible, amazing,
but perfectly timed. Played with an 'it's only rock & roll' attitude, but with much skill and ingenuity".
Rootsville e-zine, Belgium
"...This is a band with the individual skills and collective creativity to take blues / roots music to a new
higher level. There isn't a better backline in Britain and you'll not hear better guitar interplay than that
achieved by Martin and Vince, a great platform for the latter to show his world-class playing and
singing. I think of The Wildcards as a fusion of the best of American and British styles: a robust blend
of West-Coast rhythms, Mississippi deep blues, cool jazz and that heady Gene Vincent rockabilly
thing. It's not only artistically satisfying, it's pretty darned exciting to listen to!"
Blues In Britain magazine, UK
"Holy Explosion! The Wildcards of Britain have such a deal in their hands, that even most hardboiled
gambler on the other side of the table would be scared: two first-class guitarists, rhythm section tight
as a hell, singer capable for full range of expression and bunch of original songs full of addictive
hooks".
Blues News Magazine, Finland
"The Wildcards opened this year's Ashburton Blues Festival and people who'd never seen them
before were absolutely knocked out by their music and stage presence. The Wildcards front man,
guitarist and singer Vince Lee, is an astounding performer. He puts out enough energy to light a
small town!"
Ashburton Blues Festival, UK
"...While we're on a winning streak, let's jump the pond and spin the accurately named On Fire! The
Wildcards, formed from the wreckage of the exciting UK band the Nightporters, are essentially part
Nick Curran, part Red Devils---that is, true jump and blues sounds played with capital-letter Attitude
and tons of talent. Great guitar tones, killer beats, and (have I mentioned?) attitude make this self-
release disc a real contender."
Blues Revue magazine, USA, issue 94 June/July 2005
"...This is a band with the individual skills and collective creativity to take the music to a new higher
level. There isn't a better backline in Britain and you'll not hear better guitar interplay than that
achieved by Martin and Vince, a great platform for the latter to show his world-class palying and
singing. I think of The Wildcards as a fusion of the best of American and British styles: a robust blend
of West-Coast rhythms, Mississippi deep blues, cool jazz and that heady Gene Vincent rockabilly
thing. It's not only artistically satisfying, it's pretty darned exciting to listen to!"
Blues In Britain magazine, UK
"The bands incorporation of rock-a-billy, swing and the Blues certainly brings to mind Reverend
Horton Heat, but this British act are far more imaginative - putting together a marvellously diverse
collection of songs that show a creative edge all too many UK Blues acts seem to lack. This deserves
to achieve big things for the band."
Blues Matters! magazine, UK - issue 24 - Feb 05
"...Such acclaim would have been justified for every track of the eleven on this CD. Music of such
richness and virtuosity defies easy categorisation but there is certainly something here for all shades
of blues taste. The CD marks the arrival of the Wildcards as the best new prospect in years. Vince
Lee is a world-class singer and guitarist, with a band to match"
