"...Future Kings Of Spain prove that pussying about with the overdrive is well and truly dead with "Face I Know", a Queens Of The Stone Age-y stormer with dark, doomy vocals and a gnarly kick-you-in-the-face type guitar line, which, as we all know, is a very good thing".
Single Of The Fortnight - Hot Press (Hannah Hamilton).

"Accession to the throne of Spain is not something you take for granted, but these three Dubs seem fairly certain of their regal destiny - their passionate, explosive rock should certainly get them noticed in other kingdoms". Kevin Courtney - The Irish Times.

"It's refreshing to see a young Irish band take on the stale medium of alternative rock, strip it back down to basics and inject a rawness and energy thats sadly missing in most modern releases. The chorus explodes out of the blocks with the repeated, distorted scream of the song title. Imagine the choppy drive of Sonic Youths 'Silver Rocket' with an irate Henry Rollins taking over for the chorus vocal and
you're nearly there". Paddy Fagan - I.R.I.S. Magazine

(Plays on BBC Radio 1 (Colin Murray, Steve Lamacq), BBC Northern Ireland (Across The Line), XFM (Zane Low), 2FM, Today FM (Pet Sounds), FM 104, Phantom FM, Spin 1038FM...)

Future Kings Of Spain could be the sharpest, most galvanised, young hopes to emerge in Ireland for the longest time. Having spent two years nurturing their art, in the tradition of their heavy-hitting European, American and Antipodean colleagues, Future Kings Of Spain have decided that 2003 will be the year that their luminescent brand of alternative rock, shrieks and howls its way out from under the bushel. Formed in 2000, signed in 2001, they played their first ever gig as support to J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. By autumn 2002 they released the critically acclaimed debut single 'A Place For Everything And Everything In Its Place' and the ball was set in motion for these Dubliners to take hold. At the end of 2002 the band left for American shores to record their debut album with Ted Niceley - producer of Fugazi, Girls Against Boys - and Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys); everyone who has subsequently heard the 11 tracks has been left with a feeling of huge anticipation and tingling regard.
