Surface Unsigned National Final
Indig02 London – Saturday 26th September 2009

“The lead singer mixed it up with extra percussion and some acoustic fronted melodies” a “Sgt. Pepper meets Madchester” style, creating a hybrid of indie/Brit-pop.
They each bring something special/integral to the band that each member makes it fantastik together”

David Couchman, Surface Unsigned Festival official band reviewer

Regional Final Saturday 12th September 2009.

Next up was Burton based four-piece Fantastik4. Sitting on the heavier side of Alt, Rock, they have a sound defined by roaring guitars, fast beats, powerful layered vocals cut-through with anthemic melody. There is some real quality and scope in their music and as a band they perform with confidence and charisma. Clap along tracks saw the whole Academy crowd clapping away to a lot of their set. With so many ideas apparent in their music it’s to the bands credit how seamlessly they bring it all together for a substantial and exciting whole.

Review by Mick Moonshine: -
A young lady on bass... umm...there's a few around these days, Fantastik 4 are a breath of fresh air on the rock circuit, not an out and out classic rock band, they squeeze in a few more modern numbers, stuff you wouldn't normally here bands play & really good at it they are...My Sharona, Ruby, Monster and a few others, a cracking job they do as well. I ain't never gonna change am I?? A belting night which you think can't get better, believe me it does, Rio on bass goes over to acoustic for a couple of Pink Floyd numbers & really comes into her own, I could listen to her playin Pink Floyd all night - a really good bass player but on acoustic guitar she's in a league of her own!! An excellent band that should become a household name on the midlands Rock circuit!
