"Packed full of youthful exuberance, their debut is bursting at seams with all the vigour and vitality of being a 20-something, effortlessly balancing it against the anxiety and neurosis that comes packaged with it. Essential listening.' - CLASH (Full Review)

The 2nd Mouses EP - Released March 2015. Download 'The 2nd Mouses EP' HERE.
"Their sound is rough and raw – they play their instruments hard and heavy like petulant teenagers, and Bardgett’s dirty, muffled vocals are reminiscent of the Strokes. Noisy, energetic and completely original, it won’t be long before Mouses are moving out of Teesside, and into the highs of British rock. - The Bike and Rose (Full Review)
Mouses EP - Released July 2014. Download the 'Mouses' EP HERE.
“One of my favourite EPs of 2014 and one which I feel is a great example of the really exciting undercurrent of young new bands emerging in the North East at the moment. Mouses are a two piece band from Teesside who appear to have been reared exclusively on spiky punk records. Their self-titled EP is a snotty, urgent and truly invigorating quarter of an hour, and their live shows are little riots too. They’re currently one of the region’s best kept secrets, but I suspect that might not be the case for too long.” – Drowned in Sound
LIVE REVIEWS
"The band are famed for their jaw-dropping and energetic performances, seeing Mouses live is nothing short of breath-taking." - Louder Than War (Full Review)
"...both exhausting and thrilling to watch in equal measure." - NARC (Full Review)
"Engaging in an aesthetic as abrasive as it is melodic, they deliver a set which is equally stimulating and forthright, a determined tour de force which captivates and excites..." - Liverpool Sound City (Full Review)
"The band offer a one of a kind, intimate and purely joyful gig experience I haven’t found in any other band thus far." - NE Volume Magazine (Full Review)
"... another jaw dropping set - further proof that Mouses are one of the North Easts finest.” - Louder Than War (Full Review)
“But what really stuck - was their interaction with the crowd. It was more than just the audience singing along to the most well-known songs. It was more than just them singing the words like they were etched into their heads and hearts. This is a connection rooted in - their genuine appreciation of anyone who supports them.” - Teesside Cat (Full Review)
