The B of the Bang use guitars, loops, mandolins, white noise, xylophones, accordions, feedback, percussion, banjos and whatever else they can lay their hands on to conjur up melodies for maladies in the 21st century

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
PLANET SOUND: 
Like British Sea Power gone Wicker Man. A stunning debut, gorgeously textured, just too good to be neglected. Superb. 
9/10
ARTROCKER:
Take Nu folk, a broodingly dark soundscape and a Jim Morrison-style baritone and shove it all in a blender. It may be hard to pigeonhole, but it’s even harder to shake out of your mind once it’s finished - we like!



ROCK PULSE:
Anyone who can find a single flaw with "Beginning. Middle. End." deserves to be taken away by the men in white coats, this album is nothing short of a goddamn triumph. 
10/10



SUBBA-CULTCHA:
Like a spooky, cabaret-version of Franz Ferdinand in charge of the college music departments instrument store, dramatic, ever twisting and toe-tappingly perverse - great stuff in other words.



STEREOKILL:
Sweeping melodies and compellingly dark interludes. Wit channels the spirits of great frontmen from Nick Cave to Neil Hannon, and does so with considerable class and an incredibly powerful voice. A rare (if uniquely intense and at times unsettling) pleasure.
4.5/5
BREAKING MORE WAVES:
Marvellous and atmospheric music combining darkness and beauty.
THE FLY:
An unpredictable concoction of anti-folk, malice-laden vocals, psychedelic big-top clown breakdowns and smatterings of B-movie horror soundtracks. Nicely unsettling and unsettlingly nice.
CALL UPON THE AUTHOR:
A superb soundscape, full of both melancholy despair and a strangely uplifting energy.
17 SECONDS:
Imagine Broken Records invading the soul of The Divine Comedy.rather special.
RAVENOUS:
Some of the most heart and mind shattering music around. Sure to be smothered in critical acclaim quicker than you can say Mercury Music Prize.
WHISPERIN AND HOLLERIN:
What 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster would sound like if they were an indie-folk band - it all works rather well.
BUGBEAR:
A lo-fi, folk-psych thang with nods towards Guillemots, Spacemen 3/Spiritualized, Love.country-soul touches.Rufus Wainwright goes 30's Berlin oompah.highly-hypnotic.
