‘Welcome Bete Noire…or if, like us, you ne parl pas de Francais ‘Black Beast’ – you dirty big post-punk, er, thing. This five-piece London group’s debut single ‘Shut Your Mouth’ is by turns menacing and melancholy then melodic and manthemic. What do you mean ‘manthemic’ isn’t a word? Durrr, it means anthems for men. Bete Noire also up their punk credentials for having a proper grainy sounding demo, like back in the day, authentic 80s style.’ londonontheinside.com

‘Channelling the guttural, doom-riddled rage of ’80s legends like Joy Division or Magazine….There’s a dark, menacing swagger within their sound. As basslines canoodle with serrated axe licks, the throbbing confidence of vocalist David M. Hargreaves may as well be socking you in the gullet. The quintet have a propensity for loudness, bitterness, anthemic pop hooks and malevolent magnificence.’ beardedmagazine.com
