'Dez Dare Spreads Autism Awareness Through Experimental Rock' Bandcamp article

 

"'Weasel Breath' is one of those hip-shaking motoriks Dare does so well, with spine-tingling squirts of synth and a typically declamatory vocal. More Dez Dare in the world is inarguably a good thing, so get stuck in." The Wire

​

"The pace is harshly merciless and yet, despite all the sonic booms, rumbles and pounding, Dare creates melodic bubbles, sly hooks and catchy structures. He's quite a wizard and a sound magician." Desibeli

​

"Dez Dare’s new EP is short, sharp and succinct... fantastic mess. Got hit single written all over it. Seriously, this is ace." Fighting Boredom

​

"Smallman has carved his own niche in the UK guitar underground... special brand of off-kilter music that will strike a chord with fans of Pere Ubu." Here Comes The Flood

​

"Dez Dare has again presented a beautiful work... short and sweet, consistently gripping" Silence [8/10]

​

"It’s a cracking blast of lo-fi guitar-driven alt-rock... ‘Critical Mind Dump’ is fizzing with post-punk energy and packs an old-school vibe that’s rare nowadays... it’s raw, immediate, real." whisperinandhollerin.com [8/10]

​

"An excellent EP, containing wonderful catchy punk and rock songs, which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend" Carrys New Underground Music [4/5]
