“Brave new writing, touched with tenderness and a raw emotional depth…The Brutalists' writing offers an insight into the colloquialisms and dialect of the north of England.” - Joseph Ridgwell , The Guardian “A reactionary crowd of literary dissidents who just want to hear a new voice” - Scarecrow “Following The Brutalists led me into fascinatingly unexpected territory… there was no denying their energy.” – Sam Jordison, The Guardian “Writing - even of the gonzo variety - is ill-equipped to capture the adrenaline rush of music. The Brutalists can pull it off because they are talented,” - Andrew Gallix, Shrug magazine
