Reviews from 2011-12

“One man symphonic noise rock band. The best My Bloody Valentine record you never heard” The Waxing Captors

“Ipswich. Brideburger. Noise, drone, good guitars, little dreamy, little doomy. Shoegaze ” perditionnotes: - Warm beer, Cold women

“Ipswich-based Brideburger – the nom-de-guerre of self-described “psychedelic drone noise”-monger Matt Catling – is by no means the first musician to have followed in Metal Machine Music’s footsteps” Seymour Quigley - B-Side music magazine

“Psychedelic fuzzy drone noise feedback” Getonthe SoapBox

“One-man scratchy shoegazing with assorted electronic interventions adding up to some bleakly harsh sounds” Crushing Death & Grief
“Exceptional ” Graeme Mac - BBC Suffolk introducing

“A wonderful noise” BBC Suffolk introducing

“Next up were the solo stylings of Ipswich’s Brideburger. Playing with a plethora of peddles and controls, the first section of music was a guitar-led wall of noise and feedback. Continually building and re-working, the sound swelled like the cacophonous roar of ocean waves, undulating slowly until feedback and sheer volume took control. This then segued into the second movement, as the guitar notes reverberated through loops and a box of tricks (a converted VHS video box with controls). A mess of sounds and drones were picked apart but then slowly pieced back together again through the manipulation of their basic waves.” The Liminal

“Brideburger aka Matt Catling, an experimental musician from Ipswich, UK, create with “A&E” a very interesting al- bum. Atmospheric pop songs, rock and shoegaze change in the middle of the album into a harsh noise attack to end up finally in ambient sounds. This amazing work is available for free download at Abandonment. Brideburger plays guitar sounds for fans of Flying Saucer Attack or Labradford .” MaCu - kulturterrorismus


“Brideburger aka Matt Catling presents after the “A&E” EP with “Soundcapes” a great varied debut album, which is available for free download on the bulgarian label Abandonment. Starting with distorted guitar li- nes soon the music drifts into smooth ambient sound -scapes to turn very fast to hypnotic guitar sounds, hauntingly spoken words and noise. A must have for consumers who like the works of Sonic Youth or E.A.R.” MaCu - kulturterrorismus
