".....King Crimson meets Sonic Youth" 

Here Comes The Flood 

"...simultaneously the most restrained and the most abrasive band of the night as Fugazi and Black Flag meet Red."

Prog Magazine 

"..Vast walls of emotionally charged, fuzzed out guitar noise. TFATD's strength is their ever present melodic core" 

Rock-A-Rolla 

"Number 8. The Fierce and the Dead, On VHS" 

The Copenhagen Post - Albums of the Year 

"...a totally unique sound, making all kinds of complexity very accessible in the process. Mindbending and brilliant."

Oliver Arditi - Pick Of The Year 

"...a sophisticated and edgy instrumental stew with the power to rip your face off"

DPRP 

"The Fierce and the Dead are somewhere between the Pixies, the Shadows and 80′s era King Crimson. Exuberant and celebratory and all about entertaining the audience" 

Comrade Robot 

"An impressive spacious sound that calls to mind the likes of Mogwai et al, and is well worth a listen" For Folks Sake

"You will find various influences from the post-rock of Explosions in the Sky, ambient Talvihiros, creepy organ playing often found in The Bad Seeds and thrash crazy ass punk. A highly rewarding listen!"

"I fervently hope The Fierce & The Dead continue to push themselves to make music this unique and interesting." Make Shift Reviews

Classic Rock Presents Prog

"For a reatively uncompromising piece of work, (this) is a strikingly entertaining listen...this kind of intelligent, soulful, undiluted creativity deserves exposure." Oliver Arditi

"This band defied all my expectations. I am absolutely amazed."
Tune Grape

"Contenders for post-rock glory" Tunes News  

"The Fierce and The Dead might have given left-field music its post rock record of the year"

"Like a breath of fresh air...a fine start indeed"

The Fierce & The Dead came about from a recording experiment that was initially intended for Matt's second solo album, but it started to grow legs and arms and evolved into its own animal. They just feed it now and then and it spits noise back out. .

Their first EP 'Part 1' (one 19 minute long song) came out in 2010 to unexpected critical acclaim. They released their full length debut 'If It Carries On Like This We Are Moving To Morecambe' in May 2011, it features 10 tracks and guest saxophone performance from Terry Edwards. It is dedicated to the memory of close friend Dan Wilson who passed away during the recording of the album.

The band have played a string of live dates at the end of 2011 and have also recorded a new e.p, entitled On VHS, released on March 26th 2012. The e.p. was critically acclaimed and has seen the band perform show around London over the summer of 2012. In October the band toured the UK as part of theProg Magazine endorsed 'Stabbing A Dead Horse Tour' with Knifeworld and Trojan Horse which finished on sold out show at The Lexington in London. 

A new album is being written and will be recorded early 2013. Currently slated for a late spring release date the album will be backed up by a string of live dates around the country and Europe. 

Matt, Kev and Stuart have played together on and off in various guises for over 10 years as well as performing with other bands and as solo artists. With several live dates booked the band welcomed a new member but an old friend, Steve Cleaton, on guitar, keyboards and fx.

Matt Stevens currently has a successful career as a solo guitarist utilising live looping technology to create as big a noise as he can using as few instruments as possible. He has just released his third solo album (featuring members of TFATD) called Relic.

Kev Feazey has worked as an audio engineer, producer and musician for several years now. He has worked with artists ranging from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to Lydia Lunch and The Duke Spirit. He is also currently playing bass for The Murder Barn.

Stuart Marshall is a busy drummer performing in many projects from surf rock movers The Manta Wrays to his latest band The Watford Sunsets. He learnt his trade in hardcore bands such as Dereks Experiment and Freebase.

Steve Cleaton has been mostly looking at the sky for the last five or six years. A natural talent, Steve is now a full time member of TFATD bringing his own slant and writing skills to the band.
