Press Quotes
“Island Living stands apart from so much of what so much of the UK is producing right now, but perversely it is a beacon for a direction the UK ought to be heading…Ten minutes of the purest, most vitriolic embodiment of small-town hate you’ll have heard in years. It is beyond essential. 6/6” – Thrash Hits
“Roaring out of Anglesey armed with their new EP Island Living, Bastion’s jarring hardcore assaults are set to invade the mainland.” – Kerrang! (4 Sep 2010)
“Effectively combining the raw throat vocals of Gallows with the stand out riffs of veterans Converge. It’s most definitely hardcore for hardcore fans. 4/5” – Alter The Press
“It’s almost as if some great bionic entity found its passion for hardcore, and in particular Converge, then took it upon itself to write music intended to level mankind. This is a band doing great things, who deserve more attention.” – Leeds Music Scene
