"The Charlottefield Sound is blood raw and primitive ugly/beautiful like kissing someone with a smashed mouth. It’s also out there, abstracted and vaguely sci-fi horror, a ghost story from the moon."
- Anon, Smoking Beagle
"Chainsaw-motored guitars sound wondrously evil and paranoid atmospherics dwell like the bruised purple of a gloriously overcast dusk. As the rhythms change and judder, the band flex to their own foreboding frequencies..."
- Jonathan Falcone, Plan B
"By turns life-affirmingly aggressive, doomy, ballsy, and brazenly punk in an utterly real way, Brighton’s Charlottefield are as raw and naked as it gets; a stripped visceral mess that’s brilliant live. Great, tight drumming, classy basslines, and vicious up-tempo guitar work augmented by insane vocals..."
- Stuart Turnbull, BBC Collective
"Charlottefield offer a nice line in cerebral massaging with hot needles for fingers..." -www.losingtoday.com
"...impressive arrangements of the harsh and the beautiful..." -www.angryape.com
"...and they pulled off such an escape of everything you'd expect from a support band to The Go! Team..." -www.bigyawn.net
"But… Jesus! Can’t you see? They’re… they’re MONSTERS... They ain’t respectable human beings!" -www.airwavesback.com
