Absolut Noise (F) "Actually, while shaking your bum to this album, it is going to hit you just how refined, infectious, and ingenious this album really is." Slowdive Music (US) "Definitly one of the albums of the year!, maybe even of the following decade..." Dark Feather (D) "...a very accessible album that has an appeal beyond new wave/post-punk devotees!" 7.9/10 - Gothtronic (NL) "...sounds pleasing refreshing, and inviting all the melancholy to the dance floor" Sonic Seducer (D) "This album is absolutely great and has a bright future!" 8/9 - Side-Line Music Magazine (B) "Songs like Heart of Glass, London or Let the Right One in are melancholic art for the new generation of indie freaks that did not grow up with The Chameleons and The Cure, but with also very great bands like Interpol and The Editors. And even if you grew up with The Cure and The Chameleons, you'll absolutely like the album. Very, very good!" 9/10 - Schwarze-news.de (D) "The Exploding Boy proves at every moment that creating quality pop songs is still something possible in the twenty-first century..." Zicazine (F) "One of the best albums this year in this genre!" 8/10 - ZERO Magazine (S) "...a true jewel of what I will name without claim to, "swedish pop new wave revival!" 9/10 - Soilchronicles (F) "Swedish new wave revival is something I never saw coming and lucky, The Exploding Boy does it very well. This one is great and fans of new wave and other similar genres will love it." 4/5 - Dangerdog (US) DISCOGRAPHY 2010 - Promo-EP - Afterglow Club EP 2009 - Digital Single - Heart of Glass 2009 - CD - Afterglow 2009 - Digital Single - London 2008 - Digital Single - 40 Days 2007 - CD - The Exploding Boy 2006 - Digital Single - Cold Things Start to Burn 2006 - Demo - Vampire Ep COMPILATION / TRACKS ¤ D-Side Magazine 60 (F-10) - The Right Spot.. ¤ Redjmusic Compilation (US-10) - 40 Days, London ¤ The Sound of the Static Magazin (D-10) - Let The Right One In ¤ Darkfeather Comp, vol.10 (D-10) - London ¤ Darkness before Dawn, vol.2(D-10) - I Am Truth ¤ ADERLASS Comp, no.7 (D-10) - 40 Days ¤ Smoke & Spotlight, vol.5 (D-10) - Intervention.. ¤ The Creeping Death, vol.4 (JPN-10) - 40 Days.. ¤ Extreme Club Hits, vol.12 (D-09) - London ¤ Gothic Lifestyle, no.2 (D-09) - Heart Of Glass ¤ Extreme Traumfänger 9 (D-09) - What You Want To ¤ Pagan Love Songs, vol.2 (D-09) - Heart Of Glass ¤ Darkfeather Comp, vol.6 (D-09) - Let The Right One In ¤ Groove Compilation (S-06) - Cold Things Starts to Burn BOOKING ANGENCY (G.A.S.): Wings Of Destiny / www.wod.com PAST SHOWS 2010 25/09 - D-Tübingen, - Twilight of Darkness, Epplehaus 24/09 - D-München, LOSTCLUB, Kranhalle 27/08 - S-Stockholm, Zombie Live Night 18/07 - B-Waregem, Gothic Festival 17/07 - D-Leipzig, One Way, - The Independent Club 15/07 - CH-Zürich, Dynamo Werk 21 14/07 - D-Nürnberg, Der Cult 19/03 - S-Sundbyberg, The Cave 26/02 - N-Oslo, Gotham Nights Festival @ John Dee 2009 21/12 - D-Berlin, K17 (+The Crüxshadows) 20/12 - D-Erfurt, Centrum (+The Crüxshadows) 19/12 - D-Freiburg, Ratcave Party @ KTS 18/12 - D-München, Lichtzimmer - DJ SET ONLY 17/12 - D-München, Feinspeiserei CANCELLED 14/12 - D-Berlin, Duncker Club - DJ SET ONLY 12/12 - D-Bremen, Interzone @ Elf 2 11/12 - D-Iserlohn, Stay wild 09/12 - CH-Zürich, Hafenkneipe 08/12 - D-Nürnberg, Der Hirsch (+The Crüxshadows) 06/11 - FIN-Helsinki, - Synapsi meets Nightfall 18/09 - D-Leipzig, Frühauf (+Crottendorf).. 17/09 - D-Wittenberg, Crash Club 16/09 - D-Düsseldorf, Pretty Vacant 13/09 - D-Berlin, 30-jahre Festival 12/09 - D-Halle, DEAF BLIND DUMB Party 11/09 - D-Hamburg, Hedis Landgang 10/09 - D-Berlin, Duncker Club 09/09 - D-Hamburg, Knust (+Big Bang) 05/06 - S-Stockholm, Sugar Bar - Release Party. 31/05 - D-Leipzig, Wave Gotik Treffen 29/05 - D-Regensburg, Lostclub @ Gloria 16/04 - D-Wittenberg, 37er Club CANCELLED 15/04 - D-Frankfurt am Main, The Cave 12/04 - D-Hamburg, Hit the North @ Astra Stube 11/04 - D-Bremen, Interzone @ Club elf² 10/04 - D-Kiel, Schaubude 2008 21/11 - S-Stockholm, Heimat @ Landet 07/11 - S-Norrköping, Klubb Lakritz 07/09 - S-Stockholm, Mosebacke 16/05 - F-Barentin, La Cultura 15/05 - F-Paris, Edward & Sons 14/05 - F-Rouen, Emporium 10/05 - S-Stockholm, Showcase 09/05 - S-Eskilstuna, Klubb Raw
