"The Eclectic took to the stage. They boasted a whole bunch of flashy-looking gear, with three guitars, as many keyboards, and even a xylophone manned expertly by this Dublin 5-piece. We were treated to some beautifully crafted alt-rock songs, with nifty interlocking melodies on synths and geetar." "The thing that most impressed me about them was the overall soundscape they created, with texture playing every bit as important a part as melody in each song. It’s rare to see that kind of care taken in crafting rock songs these days and that attention to detail will hopefully take them far." - Dave Scanlon - Drop-D
"This is an impressive EP, and The Eclectic now top my list of must-see Dublin bands." - Johnnie C review of "Songs For A Blank Canvas" for Sounds XP.
"The band have a very big sound, and it works really well, with all 5 members gelling beautifully. The song 'Potholes' towards the end of the set was a perfect example of this, full of great almost ambient moments and wonderfully complementing dual lead guitars." - Daragh Murray - Cluas.
