"Their sound is an intoxicating and audaciously fully-formed blend of stop-start rhythms, intricate, harmonising guitar work and half-shouted vocals."......Yorkshire Post........

"With some bands you can hear them straining to find the right sound... but Wintermute have the ideas and, importantly, the ability to put their ideas into practice."....Vibrations Magazine...... "...steeped in intensity and emotion... a well of talent and creativity that points to a bright future."....www.highvoltage.org.uk...... "The band excel in churning out atmospheric indie rock with a pinch of pop and punk attitude that propels them away from the mass population of new British bands."......www.dailydischord.com........
