"Without their inspiration a lot of what took place in the intervening years wouldn't have happened. Sometimes you see something and it opens a door somewhere in your head. I hope this does the same for you."

Jarvis Cocker

 

Artery are one of the great unsung bands of the post punk era”

The Quietus

 

“‘Into The Garden," for instance, is a grandiose proto-gothic mix of one-two beats and slashes of lightning prog guitar backing lyrics about taking an “identical twin sister” for something sordid behind the geraniums”

NME's Unspun Heroes 2010

 

“A performance of darkness and light, intensity and intrigue, and about as far from an exercise in nostalgia as you can get”

Pennyblack Music

 

“Artery followed in the footsteps of likeminded souls Gang Of Four and Wire in destroying the world with their angular angst and political lambaste”

Sonic Masala

 

“Minimal, abrasive post-punk sound and dystopian visions strongly influenced by the political turmoil of the age at home and abroad”

God Is In The TV

 

It’s the perfect environment for music that’s bleak, frustrated, nihilistic…A triumphant return”

Whisperin’ And Hollerin’

 

“Now back and more powerful than ever, the band's original abrasive post punk sound seems more relevant than ever”

FAME Magazine

 

“A performance of integrity, intrigue, dark and brooding tribal rhythms and about as far from an exercise in nostalgia as you can get”

Coma Magazine

 

“One word…AWESOME..!”

Sandman Magazine

 

“Energetic, musically tight and poised – the set has the vigour of a band first time around, not a group that had its heyday over three decades ago”

Sheffield Telegraph

 

“There’s something about Artery singer Mark Gouldthorpe’s scenario that smacks of the film History of Violence…”

Sheffield Star
