‘Mancs most expansive, beguiling new sounds of this year. Part Portishead, Part Burial, and another large part prog rock noodling, FTKOSQ are restless sonic adventurers, whose sole aim is to fry out their already full to bursting hard drives. Prepare for Memory overload.’
– Manchester Evening News
'From the Kites of San Quentin could well be the Massive Attack or Portishead of a new generation.'
- BBC Introducing
‘a band whose members are firmly focuses on creating something truly unique, it surely wont be long before these Kites are flying high’
– Rock Sound Magazine
'it's a bass-heavy concoction of flickery glitch-beats, half-buried samples, analogue oscillations and digital chaos.'
- Manchester Music
‘Their songs are a moody broth that unfold into euphoric gorgeousness. It’s a mix of just enough disparate musical elements that make FTKOSQ quite awesome.’
– Come See The Duck
‘expect Portishead atmosphere, Kode 9 bass stroon out over a stripped Vex’d backdrop with vocals spanning the warmth of Skye Edwards but with the edge of Beth Gibbons. Inspiration from all, but originality courtesy of FTKOSQ.’
