Media Quotes:

Q Magazine
“Masters of the slow build with huge swathes of strings reminiscent of The Verve at their best with added chiming guitars and a hint of James at their best. This Brighton five piece have some evocative fist clenching tunes and a giant voice in the shape of simply dubbed singer Slade”.

BBC Sussex Introducing
'Epic, Good stuff'

XFM (X-posure show - John Kennedy)
"Epic, I love them”

XFM (head of music - Mike Walsh)
"Munich are great and just what British music needs"
Audience/ Live Magazine (James Drury)
“With its anthemic strings and powerful crescendo, Right Time Right Place has serious chart potential.”

Brighton Source Magazine (NC)
‘Munich certainly don’t mislead. With arenas-in-waiting swirls of guitar, swathed in levels of reverb that would make The Edge say “that’s a lot of reverb there, lads’, the songs pack an immense emotional punch. Even ballad ‘Where Are You Now’ racks up the atmospherics, but elsewhere it’s the bait of the plugs’n’pedals work along various fret boards that reels the listener in, matching a colossal size of sound with memorable hooks – what more could you ask for?’

XYZ Magazine
"Dreamy pop written with the summer festivals in mind."

Juice FM (Tony Marks)
"With songs as huge as Together Again, Munich deserve to be playing in front of equally huge audiences."
