I Noel & The Pandas provengono da Bristol e rappresentano una delle più innovative realtà alternative rock presenti sul panorama, grazie alla naturale capacità di fondere musicalmente la sperimentazione più moderna con le esperienze psichedeliche del passato e condendo il tutto con testi intensi e profondi, partoriti soprattutto dalla tormentata storia del cantante, Noel. Il sound soft rock e le liriche dalla pulsante drammaticità riescono così ad assumere un sapore cupo e al tempo stesso graffiante, come chi ha toccato il fondo ma ha saputo risalire.
"Noel and the Pandas have released their debut album ‘In the Art of Doom’, and it couldn’t be more perfect if it tried. Expressing feelings of desolation and depression, you can clearly hear the pain and anguish in front-man Noel ‘s voice. The melancholy tone, paired with his raspy vocals make the perfect combination. If you are in fact, looking for something a little softer on this awesome album, then I strongly suggest you take a listen to ‘Red Light Obsession’, the sixth track on the album. The opening piano instrumental is resonating and beautiful, which then grows into a light-rock, catchy track, scattered with impressive guitar playing and vocals (Music Crowns)"
