Here is some press for Sizewell Tea:

“…If you don't go near jazz because it just isn't damned noisy enough, and seems to have petered out after the pre-punk free jazz ideological furies of the Sixties and Seventies, then come back to life to try the deliciously uncivil new Led Bib album, Sizewell Tea, which is out early May on the Babel label. Led Bib sound like they could have coped supporting '61 Sun Ra, '66 Beefheart, and even '69 Led Zep. Led Bib are jazz, though, through and through, crammed with horn and blast, and as much swing as sweat”  Paul Morley Observer Music Monthly

 "A sonic adventure to savour"  Robert Shore The Metro

 "So the race is on to find this year’s Polar Bear or Acoustic Ladyland – the next punky jazz outfit with a cool name and rock ’n’ roll attitude to snaffle a Mercury nomination. Drummer Mark Holub’s blistering outfit certainly have all the moves: punk energy, hard-blowing horns and a dynamite live show."  Kerstan Mackness Time Out 

 "Anyone intrigued by the sonic possibilities explored by Ladyland and Polar Bear or the leading lights of the New York Downtown scene should check it out.  The Scotsman

 "We need bands like Led Bib to make the world safe for dangerous music."  Stuart Nicholson Obeserver Music Monthly

 "Splattering you against the wall with their broadsides of punk-jazz" John Fordham The Guardian

 "Like crossing the road in a reverie and being run over by a passing bus - but in a pleasing way"  Richard Godwin Evening Standard

"It is accessible yet never watered down; Led Bib's cover of David Bowie's Heroes is a shape-shifting beast and a snazzy conclusion to this big-city blast."  Arwa Haider Metro 4 Stars

"...a blast of full-on collective improvisation of the sort that has made the band such a sought-after attraction, their two horns wailing, bass pumping, keyboards constantly embellishing the band sound, the whole driven by the indefatigable, restless, supremely inventive drumming of leader Mark Holub."  Chris Parker(Review of April 10th gig at the Vortex)

"...with a raucous mix of punk and jazz, played with an in-your-face irreverence and wit; this was high-energy scorched earth, with fierce blowing from saxophonists Chris Williams and Pete Grogan in an ensemble characterised by leader Mark Holub's combustible drumming."  Ray Comiskey Irish Times( review of Led Bib at 12 points festival)

"The London-based quintet's second album is a blast of mischievous energy from start to finish...it's only fitting that the album's big finale is a gloriously warped rock-out rendition of David Bowie's 'Heroes' - a signal that these young heroes are going to carry on doing exactly what they feel like doing for the foreseeable future." Daniel Spicer Jazzwise 4 Stars

"...album number two turns towards the spookier end of jazz, although this features a version of David Bowies 'Heroes', deliciously mutilated across a nine-minute voyage through swing, hard bop and free improv" John Lewis Uncut 4 Stars
