"Their mix of heavy beats, relaxed vocals and some fancy guitar and bass work really appeal to people. They were clearly at ease on stage. They are a group who can handle heavier material, while also being suited to more relaxing songs. LeScour always get people dancing, or at least a foot going in time for the music. Don’t just go and listen on their Myspace, go and see them live in the flesh, that’s the way their music is supposed to be heard." - Live-Music-Scene.co.uk
"LeScour are eminently talented and inevitably destined for great things." - Bruised Fruit
"This band have packed in an astounding amount of live gigs in the past year, which can only mean one thing - not that they're knackered, but that these guys are serious! Now go join the revolution!" - Wharfdale Pro
"The new EP 'Little Strategies', showcases an altogether broader musical palette. Dance-centric song 'Song X' for example, electro-burbles its way to a heavy rocking second -half showdown, while the quietly chiming intro to 'Voices' descends into a screaming paranoia and waspish guitar by song's end Brilliant!" - Venue Magazine
"Really good! Easy to listen to and has great songwriting and structures. The producing as a whole is really good and the singers voice compliments the sound. They love their harmonies and use them well. They have a really mystifying sound!" - Bristol University Radio (BURST FM)
"LeScour had played a set of almost experimental guitar based indie, using a wealth of keyboards and sampling effects from their Chaos Pad. They carried it off, and it sounded great. Their use of the digital backdrop too, displaying their logo superimposed onto a moving satellite image, gave them another different dimension, which at times, when combined with the music left you thinking of David Bowie’s ‘Major Tom’. They had performed outstandingly, as the impressed judges watched with admiration before propelling them into the next round." - EmergenzaUK
"Voices is as fine a piece of indie pop as you're likely to find. A track to unite your hard core Chilli Peppers mosher with your shoegazing head nodder. What's not to like? The rest of the EP just makes me want to hear the full album. And you can quote me on that!" - Bristol Uncovered
"Great tunes!!!" - Exposed Music PR
