"Secret Circuits and The Wick Effect played absolutely awesome sets at Escobar last night. If you ever get the chance to see either of these bands I'd highly recommend them…."- Adam Williams - Leeds Indie Radio
"Hearkening back to the likes of Joy Division, The Wick Effect clearly delight in the faithful reconstruction of a sound and temperament seldom witnessed in a music scene so focussed on bright young things. That being said, the bright young things in the crowd demonstrated their appreciation with a lively spree of booty shaking, affirming the relevance of the band amongst the young up-and-comings on the bill tonight." - Sarah Colwill-Brown, Leeds Music Scene
"The Wick Effect are post punk rockers with lashings of powerful vocals and influences from the likes of Interpol, Sisters of Mercy and The Sound. Fresh from the studio, TWE have recently headlined gigs at Northern Monkey and The Library to much acclaim. " - Alex Sivewright, Deformed Cactus Promotions, Leeds
"…if you're out & about in Leeds or Bradford then I definitely recommend going along and seeing them perform live…" Fuzz Chaudhrey, AmazingRadio.co.uk
