"A Beautiful Noise is a six piece experimental, post-rock band in the vein of the UK's most famous showgazers. They intertwine melodic math rock timing with cellos, light keys, bells and utterly atmospheric percussion. Within all of this they manage to create a surreal and heavenly feeling. Their inaugural opus The Strate Sessions, draws picturesque images of lights and colors that will ultimately leave you stunned. Let's hope this is just the threshold of their potential." - Decoy Music

"A Beautiful Noise are a contemporary shoegaze group from San Diego, CA. They live up to their name -- and they're fantastic. Last year they released their debut, a six-song E.P. called Electric Soul that recalls the greatness of The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, My Bloody Valentine, and the Cocteau Twins. They've just finished a new album and according to their website, it should be out soon. They even recorded a rendition of the Spacemen 3 classic, "Sound of Confusion." Hopefully, they will at least do a west coast tour when the full-length release comes out. " - three imaginary girls

"...A Beautiful Noise started the night and they sounded great. It was a challenge to take pics because the singer is so freakin tall, but their sound reminds me a lot of the early 90's Manchester stuff that I used to love...Stone Roses and The Charlatans UK and that first Blur album with "She's So High" on it. They also have some pretty instrumental stuff (thus the name). If you happen to catch them out, pic up their EP..." - sddialedin.com
