Just superb...

Well done guys, another superb gig. It was really good to hear the e.p. songs live, and some new stuff to boot. I am seriously convinced that cigarette, the suicide, dig in, are amongst the best songs I have ever heard... it can't be long now.

by Mat 19-06-2004

great gig guys, been waitin to see you a while and didn't disappoint. best of luck, was very entertaining, had great time.

Again, what a fantastic set...Having heard the Ep only briefly i now can't wait. Only having Nature's game and Cigarette isn't enough anymore. The set was amazing, like the more mellow stuff aswell but love dancing. Jamie i want your scarf. Chris i got your hihats with sound edge in the end. seeya on the 9th. love you all. Jamie (2) x

Hey, I've just got back to London and am on the net (2am and a couple of hours after gig). Turn on my computer and notice Mat, Jamie and Benny have already written reviews...awesome. Basically a big thank you for coming to the gig it's great to have you say positive stuff about us. Thanks to everyone who was here tonight. (Hope you enjoy the hats Jamie)

Incredible Faraday Debut

Absolutely fantastic gig from beginning to end, when 'Faraday' played the energy got really intense. The Lead Guitarist, Toby French was incredible and played some 'crazy' guitar rifts. Toby Warren on the drums played an amazing solo, which got everyone going. Not having the effort to talk about everyone (I'm still pissed) I wanted to mention that... Creel Commision Ruled, blooody amazing all round. Lock everyone in next time, no one leaves!!! Well done to Toby F. for not stalling when his string broke and untuned his guitar. Nice one to creel Comission for giving him your guitar to play on!!!

by Mark McGuire 19-06-2004

Second that Sunshine

I second that, and Tring is amongst the funnest places we play - you're all total music fiends down there! And can't wait to play again with the Fit (!) Maggie and see all you cats down there. Thanks again also to Ian Gower - have a good gig tonight Captain Rock!

by Jamie (creel commission) 19-06-2004

Great gig!!

And thanks for letting us use some of your equipment Tuner, Bass drum pedal and Jamies Acoustic which Hec loved. We'd really like to support you again ok cheers for a great gig!!!

by Katamite 19-06-2004

Two Men and A Dog

Yay! You guys were awesome, my mates came along and I told them before you are great and now they are blown away. Hands up for Ian and the guys behind the scenes that made it possible. BTW, Creel the 2 Men and a Dog Artwork on your van was awesome ;P

by Jon Scrivens 19-06-2004

Brilliant!

You were fantastic! It's great to hear a band with someone who can really sing well, let alone two! I was really impressed with the quality of songs - so much variety. Needless to say, Ben's guitar solos were superb. You were all brilliant, can't wait to see you again.

by Joe kay 19-06-2004

already so many reviews....

as always it was amazing, but i think this time there was something else there that i hadnt noticed before, maybe some kind of magic (hell yeah i was pissed) but u know it was crazy.i feel like everyone song has some deep meaning and it all comes from the heart, keep going boys u r gonna be soo big and also when are we gonna have our own little website?? haha

by of the sophie/raisa clan 19-06-2004

Rock on...

Well done guys, first time ive seen your band and def will be seeing u again... looking forward to your future gigs!! PEACE OUT

I had a fab night, you guys are great and just made me chill. You have the support from the berko lot, we loved you. wooooooooooo. k going bk to bed now.

by karina 19-06-2004

Sophie and raisa

They definatly need there own website, you guys are hot. Wat a fantastic set.gets better the more i know the words. Awsome

by Front of the Crowd 19-06-2004

You booglarised us, baby

Never enjoyed a band so much without having heard any of their songs before. Wicked gig. And I liked the way you structured it; you were able to take the audience on a bit of a journey. With a triumphant climax. A lot of the indie bands knocking around at the moment seem to have a disturbing inability to rock, which certainly isn't the case with Creel Commission. And Ben: your guitar was incendiary. Good work.

by Dave Evens 19-06-2004

Blown Away by Tring (& S & R)

Guys thank you all so much for putting on so many reviews and so quickly! And thanks to Sophie and Raisa who were the foxy little ladies getting all of your email addresses. Here's a promise, when we finally make some money we're going to come up to Tring and do a free gig for Tring, one place in little England where rock n' Roll is alive, well and thriving. And thanks to the other two bands - both really impressive debuts (and much better than us on our first gig - well done guys, keep writing)

by Jamie ( creel commission) 19-06-2004

Hello Boys!

A seamless blend of raw energy with impeccable musicianship and songwriting. Is it normal for these shivers down my spine? Once again, A stupendous and breath taking performance. You never disappoint me. See you on the 9th.

by ~Hali Byrne~ 19-06-2004

Indie-rock terminators!

People said you guys were good, but people say a lot of bands are good, so i was sceptical. But after two songs i was dancing like, well i won't subject you to that, but needless to say you blew me away. Really looking forward to getting the EP as i'm really feeling the 'good band' vibes with you guys. Cheers!

by Spare Matt 19-06-2004

Dude!!

You guys blew me away yet again, amazing music you've got there. Certainly set for big things.

by James King 19-06-2004

\m/WOOP\m/

WOW! Good stuff you played last night! I go to ALOT of gigs and havn't herd anything like it!! Really unique, really cool chilled out music, that's what i like to heare,ive been told to listen to alot of bands and out of them yours was the best

by Rosie........ 19-06-2004

Amazing!

You guys are brilliant! Your music just rocks, hurry up and release an album! Faraday and Katomite rocked too!!!

by Jack Armstrong (Faraday bassist) 19-06-2004

YOU ROCKED!

IT WAS WELL COOL, YOU WERE THE BEST THERE! When u playing there again? I am the little kid that spoke to you b4 u went on! Keep it up!

by Tim Ellson 19-06-2004

fan-fooking-tastic

last night was awesome guys, your songs and musicmanship was awesome and youre lyrics actually had deep meaning that opened up alot of ideas for alot of people. i think jamie is the most lively front man i have ever met!!! he has the best stage presence ever. i loved the way jamie addressed "all the people in the bar to come and dance, like the good people in the audience" people who come to gigs and sit at the bar are just following trend but i expect they were blown away like the rest of us when they stepped inside. i know u will get big, but i hope you will still play smaller venues like pendly. keep on going,

by pat bradbury. 19-06-2004

Thumbs up

Hey hey! katamites drummers bro here and had to say was impressed by all the bands there last nite they were amazing and had a well good time. cheers lads

by Henry 19-06-2004

U were by far the best band there, and ppl who left early missed a great band. Awesome. Want ur album asap. REALEASE it now!!!! cheers 4 an excellent nite. keep it copmin!!!

by emma 19-06-2004

spreading the word

I am listening to you two songs over and over again. i Cant stop getting the thrills in my heart. I been passing the messge on to pple who live around and they have the same reaction as me. Only 19 days to go now.

by converted follower 20-06-2004

a breif word about tring

tring is a strange place for young people, there are no major social groupings like "townies" or "grungers" everybody seems to get a long. alot of good, young band have come out from the tring woodwork to play at pendly and get recognition, alot of this is thanks to ian gower and other people at pendly. everybody seems to accept themselfs for who they are, and there isnt a huge intrest in fashion or crazes. this is proved when 300 youths come together and enjoy music like katamite, faraday and CREEL COMMISSION i doubt u get could 300 youths from berko or hemel to come down and have fun without the whole place being burnt down. tring is the starting line for discovering the music that you like and may go on to produce. i think it is a great thing to be involved in the tring scene because im sure that one day it will be our claim to fame ... saying we saw the creel commission front man raise his arms like christ, and bens amazing solos when they were still young, getting started. i was suprised by the music from katomite. i will good to watch how this band progress through time. in 2 years i can see those kids spreading thier wings and starting to tour elsewhere. last night i found my self shaking uncontrollably to the music, the audience were provoked to dance a let yourslef go, and we did. creel commission i will hold last nights perfromance inside me for a long time. and i hope you will rise rise. good luck

Awesome gig guys. Was my first Creel gig, and I was very impressed. I'd heard the EP, but the live performance is just something else entirely. Keep up the good work, and I'll certainly keep supporting you. I was loving the mellow sounds, mixing in with some incredible vocals, and some awesome guitar solo's (Baz, u rock man!). Hope to be there on the 7th. :-)

by Mark 20-06-2004

New Fan

I came up from London to see Katomite, who I was more than impressed with, well stunned actually, that good at their age they can only get better (brilliant Hec, Jack & Arthur). Creel Commission, guys you were excellent as one of your other reviewers said "Never enjoyed a band so much without having heard any of their songs before" I will be the first in the queue to buy your first album. I will start spreading the word.

by molly poole + julie jackson 22-06-2004

They're gonna go far!!!

If hostile audiences are a bands biggest fear, Creel Commission has no problems. With songs like theirs they could convert even the most rigid sceptics. I couldn't help but sway with the music. Very impressive Ben, Keep up the brilliant work guys.

by Mike.b. 22-06-2004

by Vicky Poole (aka the camp giraffe) 27-06-2004

You are all lovely men

I am still in awe of last Friday. It was such a rush to be on stage, and then to have a band as frankly awesome as your selves on after us was just crazy. You guys rock, everything is just right. I'm loving the more upbeat stuff; the last two were great.

by Toby Warren - Faraday Drummer 27-06-2004

Awwweeesome

Fucking A gig. Really enjoyed all of the songs, even the ones i didn't know. Natures Game was superb, it's on constant rotation on my I-Pod. Can't wait till i get my EP now.

by Mason 28-06-2004
