'Ten Stages Of Make Up combines some of the most ferocious moments in the current wave of British hardcore with some its catchiest moments. Even on the most feedback-ridden sections there’s something catchy to hang on to for those put off by the velocity and volume.'

'The steamroller of attention that their catchy-but-manic garage-punk hardcore is driving will only be accelerated by this release of an impressive and varied selection of songs.'

'A shot of hardcore punk slammed into a pint full of thrashing experimental chaos with melodies that leave you wanting more until inevitably, it knocks you on your arse.'

'Put simply, their spazzed-out ferocity stands tall - or rather shrieks in a ball on the floor - as a klaxon of raw, screwed-up fury in these days of smoothed-off precision'
8/10 Rock Sound Magazine

'This six-track debut EP offers up a delightful and relentless party of adrenalised, nasty noise... a knockout blow that leaves you dazed and slightly confused but more than a little exhilarated and begging for a rematch'

Bio
South-coast Brit punks, The James Cleaver Quintet, are ready to burst the flood gates of British alt-punk in 2010.They come armed with dirty riffs and loaded with young enthusiasm to play any shit stinking toiletcircuitvenue that will have them.
The music The JCQ plays isnt pretty, nor does it give much away. Their jagged riffs and unpredictability that laces their debut ep, 10 Stages Of A Make Up has all the elements to fulfil anyones ADD requirements. They serve up a blend of caustic punk rock, the kind that will set alight a diluted scene of haircuts into something more genuine.
The JCQ live show has stunned and perplexed audiences across the length and breadth of the UK. From death-defying speaker climbs to catching bass guitars with their face, each show brings volatility wrapped in warm un-predictability.
2010 will see the foursome deliver a brand new single in the summer and commence work on their debut album. They have also put two stunning appearances at The Great Escape under their belt as well as being confirmed on the summers top rock festivals.
The James Cleaver Quintet have only just begun what is going to be a rollercoaster ride. More manic shows, more broken guitars and plenty of miles on the road will mould the band into one of the most exciting bands the UK has to offer.
