“Supersonic is shaping up to be a serious contender to All Tomorrow’s Parties status as the UK’s premiere ‘alternative’ music festival. Most of it, as my dad would have it is “just bloody noise” and thankfully, he would have been right.”

Quotes from Supersonic 2005:

“Despite the UK’s terribly impressive track record in electronic music, there’s only one festival that can match up to the standards of Sonar or Dissonanze; Birmingham’s Supersonic, housed in the legendary Custard Factory compound…Saturday’s line up offers many awesome, once in a lifetime pleasures”
I-D magazine

*“The line-up at this year’s Supersonic was commendably international in its make-up, incorporating artists from America, Japan and continental Europe…the festival offered a rich musical menu in a fine venue.”*
The Times

“Birmingham’s Capsule promoters divide their time between fragmented laptop electronica and adventurously grinding guitar-core. They’re interested in the meeting of the two forms. Over three years, their Supersonic weekender has grown in stature. It now sprawls over three stages of the city’s Custard Factory arts complex.”
The Independent

“The Supersonic line-up’s determined diversity seduces an audience that can inhabit the more esoteric corners of the dancefloor or dwell, darkly, down at the bottom of the venue’s drained swimming pool. Regardless of any perceived clans, the whole crowd are united in their adorartion of carefully sculpted noise matter.”
