During our travels through the space time continuum we’ve made a lot of other big fans along the way.
Here’s what some of them have had to say:
“Quite frankly the greatest rock band ever” - NME.. (2021)
”When they first broke onto the scene, we just didn’t realise that we were actually witnessing history in the making" Q Mag (2022)
”When we first made contact with aliens and their fantastic technologies back in 2020, few of us expected their greatest gift to be the music of Kirk’s Lapel” - Time Magazine.. (2023)
”I remember being at a rather messy after show party with all 8 members of Showaddywaddy when Annabella Lwin from Bow Wow Wow shouted ‘Hey everyone, what’s that in the sky?????’ We all looked round as a beam of light shot down from, what can only be described as a massive starship, and a man who introduced himself only as ‘Esna’ appeared as if by magic. He told me he was from the future and put some strange miniature listening devices into my ears. What I heard next wasn't just the most amazing piece of music I'd ever heard, it was as god himself was speaking to me. I'll never forget it. .... I never found out why Esna travelled back in time just to make me hear Kirk's Lapel and I pray I live long enough to watch them play live.” - John Peel.. (1984)
”Give us back our effects units, you crazy spacemen!!” - Pink Floyd.. (1978)
”Kirk’s Lapel are ..the.. defining act of the post-alternative-core generation, I just wish I’d caught them live in their early days when they were rocking out in the infamous ‘Wedgewood Rooms’ before Albert Road was replaced by Portsmouth’s Space Elevator” .. - ..Melody Maker 2.. (2024)
”Fuelled on lurid s*x games with up to 10 hookers a night, an over-indulgence on drink and drugs and an unhealthy lust for laser driven air guitars and strange effects units, Apu Claruana, lead guitarist for Kirk’s Lapel, the world’s biggest selling band, tells us how he became the No.1 role model for future generations of kids in the UK today.”.- The Sun (2025)
”Exclusive photo’s of Kirk’s Lapel lead singer Mike 'Jalapeno' Kelsor’s marriage to Natalie Portman AND Keira Knightley this week only in Hello” - Hello Magazine.. (2022)
"I leave my entire estate to Tom 'Tango' Thykin, bass player for Kirk's Lapel. This band made Glastonbury 2022 the best ever and if could still get it up he'd be the one I'd want to dicky back ride all round the festival!".. - ..Michael Eavis.. Last Will and Testament (2024)
