Text Box: Your Comments: Leave a comment Such a pleasure to see Contrast at The Carlisle, Hastings, last night. A "tight" group, played with skilful rhythm by the bass Mathew Stanley and drummer Richard Sage. Lead singer and guitar, James Dand, led the way with his energetic playing and has great "presence" on stage. Beautiful guitar work. I shall sit back and listen to the CD, "Right Equation" that I bought last night at the Gig and reflect on the great night I had. Thanks. From the ol' git over in the corner, Nobby.(1066 scooter club function, Hastings, 13th August 2005 - Contrast's last gig) ........................................................................................................................ Over the last couple of years I've seen many great new "mod influenced" bands. The scene is indeed healthier than it's been for many a year. None have impressed me more than the Kent band "Contrast". They were one of the star acts at Portsmouth's Mod Aid 20 concert and impressed not only me but the audience with three of their own compositions "Time Machine" "Just Do It" and "Shout It Out".  Not only sound good but look the part as well.  Watch out for 'em they're going places! - John Hellier, Wapping Wharf Records / co author (with Paul Weller) of  'Here Come The Nice' Small Faces book. ('Come Together' - Portsmouth, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ Fantastic! The life and soul of any gig. You boys just get better and better - Russ and Emma  (River Bar, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ Even better live than on CD. The best band I've seen this month. I am now a fan. The lead singer is superb - Dean Cross (Dublin Castle, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ Energetic and enthusiastic performance! Songs are really superb, band plays brilliantly together! - Lorna (self-claimed no. 1 groupie ....... apparently!!!) (Dublin Castle, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ A really original sound and a great presence on stage. 'Storyteller' was my favourite. Expecting great things from the band. - David Ketley (Dublin Castle, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ Fantastic guitar and drums. Great songs - Dawn (Dublin Castle, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ Great guitar solos, and a wonderful combined sound for a 3-piece band. The more I see them, the bigger fan I am becoming - John (Dublin Castle, June 05) ........................................................................................................................ Hi all involved with the band, saw the band for the 1st time on sat at the Beacon Court, had to come all the way from Colchester, but it was worth it, got a CD, listened to it all week, it just gets better, loaded gun is so powerful and full of energy, I hope there is a big mod revival around the corner, you guys  should be at the head, c ya next time   - PW (May 05) ........................................................................................................................ Great album guys. Love the style. Hope you make it to the top. - Jason (May 05) ........................................................................................................................ Your songs are really addictive. Great seeing you live also, you really know how to get the audience going. - Stacey (May 05) ........................................................................................................................ The whole range of their CD is covered faultlessly by their set and, I can see how with a full audience why these guys have built up such a strong reputation for their gigs. I’m looking forward to seeing them again soon. - DWW (River Bar, May 05) ........................................................................................................................ Watch out for this band I am sure they are going to get the big break they deserve. - Mark (May 05)
