SANDCASTLE: SANDCASTLE EP
News Clippings
"From its sharp and jagged punk beginnings to its spacey and lackadaisical ending, Sandcastle EP is truly something to behold. Sandcastle may have delivered us one of the most interesting, ambitious and dynamic offerings we’ve heard this year..."
- Zac Camagna, Styrofoam Drone
"The four piece already inhabit a comfortable discordant cocoon despite being an incredibly new and green band, which is even more exciting. These three tracks often sprawl with laconic disdain, yet never feel flabby - tis raucous garage guitar punk we have here people. 'Warriors' is feverish in its intensity, with singer Max Posthoorn's voice mixing between a nonchalant drawl to a Tourettes-ish yelp without a moment's notice. It disappears into a psychedelic cave of ominous echoes and fades before offering a disease-ridden release in the final third that is truly cathartic."
- Brendan Telford, Sonic Masala
"Melbourne based, Sandcastle, have proven my “3 minute or less” theory wrong. Their 3 track self titled EP, released on DIY label Nutritional Content, clocks in at about 20 minutes and change and I can’t help but think I may want to change my theory. Sandcastle are a fairly new band and are making their mark with their post punk sound and hazy vocals."
- Leah Lovecat, Dingus
"Sandcastle’s eponymous EP [9/10] may be a bit on the short side (three tracks, lasting twenty minutes), but the Melbourne four-piece make up for it in sheer post-punk thrills."
- Hitsville, U.K.
"Closer, Ice-Cream Treat, is an eight minute epic that sees Sandcastle rising and falling across jagged terrain, it’s a total blast. It’s tempting to make Television comparisons but Sandcastle have more gristle to them than that, for me this has something of the uncompromising sounds of Wipers. High praise, but deserved. Raw, wicked and very exciting indeed."
- JJ Baker, Bandcamp Hunter/Pop 'stache
