Window Seats

"Most awesome video ever!" - Rory McConnell // BBC Radio 1

“Window Seats capture the spirit and energy of late 1970’s Belfast with a contemporary slant in this two track recording. I can hear traces of Nirvana and Green Day in this hard edged, no nonsense recording that keeps the legacy of the past alive, but still manages to sound fresh and new.” - Martin Cowan // The Outcasts

“Window Seats make a confident return to Belfast... unleashing
their finely tuned brand of melodic 90s indie rock to an
appreciative crowd. Recent single offering, ‘Rat’, stands head
and shoulders above the rest of the set, possessing an
effervescent guitar and bass melody that really causes the
audience to pay attention, perhaps pointing the way forward for
this band of indie-rock adventurers.” - Steven Rainey // BBC Radio Ulster

“Window Seats have their eyes trained on your heartstrings with an emotionally naked pair of tracks. ‘Miss Midnight’ is the pick, a slow-burner featuring some lovely, atmospheric production, a strident vocal performance from Jude McCaffrey... There's nothing shy or knowing about this – it's heart-on-the-line indie-rock, and just about pulled off with aplomb.” - Chris Jones // AU Magazine

"...A strangely pleasing mix of jingly-jangly pop and heavy rock.
No sooner does a picked guitar-line sucker you into thinking the Frozen Bones EP might be the new single from The La's then - boom - the bass and overdrive pedals combine to punch you in the gut. There's something of early U2 in the melodies, though, despite the heavy riffage, never a bad thing. We particularly liked the Scandinavian feel of Try Hard, chords surely learned from the same book as The Cardigans or The Wannadies and sentiment not too far away either. Great stuff. We'll be looking out, then, for Window Seats in 2012..." - Brendan McKeown // Daily Mirror

"A triumphant return to straight-up rock, ‘Local Superhero’ is a Foo Fighters-sized guitar anthem, only with an almighty Belfast drawl behind it. Its makers, Nordy trio Window Seats, are putting this mosh-friendly beauty on their upcoming Frozen Bones EP, so for the love of all things wild and noisy, don’t let it pass you by." - Celina Murphy // Hot Press Magazine

“...an intriguingly hard-hitting combination of heavy guitar crunch and poppy jangle” - David Roy // Irish News

“Like being punched in the face several times, then satisfyingly asking,
‘Please Sir, can I have some more?’” - Andrew Moore // theFILMblog

“These songs brim with passion and authenticity; a true rarity in a world plagued by self-aggrandising vanity projects. Window Seats are a band you can believe in.” - Chris Johnson // BBC Radio Ulster / GiggingNI

“Music in its purest form, embryonic, newly written material. The sound of three musicians with the entire town to themselves... Pure brilliance.” - Will McConnell // Bandwidth Films

“Window Seats are a serious white knuckle ride and are set to make a heavy impact on the scene. Rasping guitars, heavy drums and a very unique lead vocal.” - Richard Crothers // Panic Dots

“Our favourite local superheroes... a very popular band, hitting the Top 10 in the past in our free downloads chart. We can’t wait to hear the new tracks.” - Tristan Crowe // NI Chart

“Window Seats, from Belfast, pack a wallop from the off. ‘No Show’ bursts from the traps and runs riot all over your hi-fi before going into stop-start mode driven by demented, rasping drums. It has the eccentric touches of Sparks too and is definitely not something you'd sing in the shower. ‘Movement’ is another slice of intense, passionate playing.” - Jackie Hayden // Hot Press Magazine
