"Fusing the leftfield post-punk of Art Brut with the classic indie of The Smiths and early Pulp". - Artrocker March 2010
"Quirky indie pop tunes, very English with an art school eccentric feel and a touch of Franz Ferdinand... Like Pulp with a tougher undertow provided by a bass that threatens to snarl. This is the sound of boho eccentricity with a sassy electricity and a love of early eighties John Peel noise but with an ear for a tough, linear pop tune. Striking a balance between the obstinate noise gods of Nick Cave's eighties noiseniks The Birthday Party and the high IQ pop commentary of primetime Jarvis. Mansfield Holiday sound like they could easily be massive and fit firmly into that huge space that has been created by the likes of Franz Ferdinand. They're fit for an audience that loves its pop dark and dirty with a bedsit sexiness but also danceable whilst getting lost in noise but with the lyrical smarts and great pop tunes". - JOHN ROBB John Robb (The Membranes) Jan 2010
"Mansfield Holiday are defiantely retro, think John Foxx era Ultravox, XTC and Manicured Noise, post-punk, pre-postcard rock. They are going to be doing some very interesting things in the future". - NARC Feb 2010
