about

“... having pumped you up, it keeps you there for a thundering 34 min- utes then, like all sugar rushes, evaporates as dramatically as it arrived, leaving you grinning daftly, wanting more.” Andy Robson, Jazzwise Taking Off feature
“Hook packed anthemic repertoire...Dark riffs under jangly piano repeats gather growling synth effects as themes develop, while tight, snappy funk beats turn into boogieing rock” John Fordham, The Guardian
“...the thrumming, jangling, nervy music has great power and groove.”
Phil Johnson, The Independent on Sunday
“...a brash new piano trio with a difference...fresh chord sequences socked out by a tight-knit combination... this group’s levels of energy and invention suggest exciting things to come” Jack Massarik, the London Evening Standard
“one of the few bands making an unlikely alliance between acoustic piano jazz and club floor aesthetics seem entirely possible.” Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise
“Sugar Rush...is a record that belies the relative young lifespan of the group.....the quality of the writing throughout the whole set suggests a longer history....the material consciously veers away from all out pyro- technics soloing and becomes about the skill of the composing”
Kevin le Gendre, Echoes article
“[The] South Trio tap into an as yet unexplored area of musical inspira- tion on their debut album...by lashing hands-in-the-air ‘90s rave piano riffs, synth stabs and face smacking beats to some EST/Cowleyesque themes...[they] create an oddly satisfying cocktail of bombastic tunes you can hum.”
Mike Flynn, Time Out feature
