1 Described by one reviewer as 'disgustingly contagious', Termite are a Neo-Psychedelic 4 piece based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, taking influences from modern psychedelic contemporaries such as Pond, Tame Impala, Syd Arthur and Melody's Echo Chamber, along with classic progressive and psychedelia acts including King Crimson, Caravan, Soft Machine, 13th Floor Elevators and Can. These influences combine to produce groove based, textural songs that can switch from jazzy, polyrhythmic noodlings to fuzz-drenched freak-outs and everything in between:-

"One of West Yorkshire/Lancashire’s most exploratory young bands, Termite’s 3rd EP... Growth, is an all too brief voyage into a melting pot of blues, garage rock and early psychedelia" - Counterfeit Magazine

"Impressively expansive and explorative music... ‘Growth’ is a mixture of styles, influences and genres that gel wonderfully to create a cacophony of the familiar and the surprising" - Listen with Monger

"An exuberant crescendo of noise...roller coaster...in all senses of the words" - MusicMafia

"When the world ends and the horsemen make their descent from heaven to cleanse the earth with fire, plague and pestilence; the last sound we will hear will be the last minute and a half of Kettle Of Fish." - Space Giraffe

"Their attempts to blend styles are the work of a band attempting to look forwards rather than back. The textural nature of much of the music on 'Memory Loss' and the propulsive garage rock that ends 'Kettle of Fish' suggest that this is a band with a good few more sides to show us yet." - Echoes and Dust

"'[Growth] draws you into both the sounds and the lyrics with a near hypnotic feel... An EP which will add to the collection of any music fan, who appreciates and welcomes the emergence of new and exciting musical talent." - Keep Music Live

"From the beginning of the EP ‘These Clowns’ had me already hooked, with the loud drums and the LSD guitar riffing in the background you can’t help but feel that you should be in the middle of a field dancing around trees and generally acting crazy" - WordsForMusic

"Several times, the set descends into extended proggy breakdowns with electric double bass and flute thrown in for good measure but they are charismatic and musically capable enough for these Pink Floyd moments to be powerful rather than merely self indulgent" - No-TITLE Magazine
