 4 or 5 Magicians have received many compliments (and no doubt, some slatings) in their time, some of the most impressive are below... 
"A band that you look forward to putting your headphones on for their song's ebola-scale infectiousness" Jaimie Hodgson - NME (02/04/09) "Brighton five-piece 4 or 5 Magicians are more exciting than the prospect of Paul Daniels actually fulfilling his long-running promise to leave the country under a Labour regime. With lyrics so slick they make Alex Turner sound like a spluttering old colonel struggling with a cream bun and equal parts lo-fi bedroom fuzz and glorious art-pop melody (think Supergrass meets Shellac) we're struggling to think of one solitary loser who won't like this band. They're going to be the new Manic Street Preachers, but with less tights and guy-liner"NME - Top Tip for 2009 (07/01/09) "Such great song construction!"Steve Lamacq - Change The Record; Single Of The Week (28/05/08) "I just really like the juxtaposition of the sort of dismissiveness and confidence rubbing-up against each other...a clattering pop-noise that weaves the singer along"Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 - Forever On The Edge "Really, really exciting" and "SOOOO SOOOO GOOD!" and "brilliant" (and various other superlatives)Huw Stephens - Radio 1 "More than a bit special..."Playmusic Magazine Unsigned Indie/Rock band of the year 2008 "At last a believeable British retort to the drawling rambles of Stephen Malkmus. Think Hefner's Darren Hayman fronting Guided By Voices. Ace."Music Week "The sort of lo-fi attack jam that Kurt Cobain would have creamed over"Rocksound "Very nearly stirring enough to make you put some pants on and run down to Capital FM with a big gun. Marvellously cynical alt.rock grubbiness. More please!"The Fly "Forever On The Edge’ not only boasts a loveable melody so missed from the chord-driven NME crowd , but also a contender for the best lyric of the year ... Lo-fi indie rock at its best"8/10 - drownedinsound.com "Inherently fantastic"rockfeedback.com "A monumentally fuzz drenched summer anthem for the slacker generation missing the greats!"subba-cultcha.com - Single Of The Month October 2007 "A promising potentially explosive alt.rock indie-pop X factor edge of their own" - and "A fine fine debut slice of English alt.rock ... we want everyone to form an orderly queue and pin all your hopes on these four or five fine magicians"Organart "This is an impressive collision of relevant underground styles from a young band with seemingly no shortage of energy or ideas"4.5/5 manchestermusic.co.uk "They're magic!"SoundsXP.com If you want to interview the band, feel free to contact Dan via the band's MySpace.
