“Stunning”.Rory McConnell BBC RADIO 1
really rather special…it is rare for a body of work to be so dreamy and elegiac yet conversely monstrously heavy…sounds like the end of the world. KERRANG!
…they are considered to be one of the most hotly tipped British bands around at the moment. BIG CHEESE MAG

Tubelord formed in the winter of 2006, through a combination of circumstance and friendship, in the smaller live room of two at Kingston College. Joe remembers it was cold, Joe remembers wearing a jumper. The bond came over a mutual love of Oceansize, Editors, At The Drive-In, Rival Schools and Yourcodenameis:milo.
Their fizzing combination of breackneck pop, anvil-heavy riffs and super-infectious choruslike refrains mines a virgin sound.
Word spread fast beyond their native Kingston and earned them early praise. NME called them a “thrilling band,” observing, “with their jerky dance-punk rhythms smoothed out into melodic choruses, the trio post the best kind of dilemma – should we try and dance or concentrate on learning the words?”
