“When they kicked in to their set it didn't take long to realise how amazing this band is. I was completely blown away. It can't be described with words you just need to go see for yourself. These guys bring that rebellious side of music to the fore in a way that will make you either wanna jump up or tear sh*t down. If you haven't seen this band live then this is one to definitely check out.”

“We might have lost Plan B to RnB crooner territory and we might be waiting on Jamie T’s comeback a little too eagerly, but the dubby hip hop efforts of Down Radio have all the bite and bombast we’ve been missing. Their social commentary probes convention, ideal for those who like their live music to come with a conscience”
- Beacons Festival 2014

"They blend hip-hop beats, delicate guitar hooks and melodies, massive heart pounding bass lines with distinctive hip- hop/indie vocals. It’s an unusual but really interesting mix, delivered with such vigour and swagger, that it is hard to not instantly love them."
