"Excellent support firstly from Super Luxury who are always a joy to watch due to their loud, yet memorable noise rock as well as their frontman's bizarre stage presence, which this time included random bursts of exercise and constantly curling up in a ball while screaming intensely. Greys later asked (referring to Super Luxury) 'Are you going to go to every show they ever play after tonight?' You're a fool if you don't make as many as you can."

"We knew what to expect: massive guitar riffs, gut busting bass, tribal drumming and the always entertaining onstage antics of singer Adam Nodwell including his traditional firing of a confetti gun when you least expect it. After walking out to the theme from Quantum Leap, what immediately blew us away this time was how damn tight they were. And in spite of this how they still managed to completely rock out and lose themselves in it. Nodwell covered every inch, and I mean every inch, of the venue, scaling the PA and shimmying around the curtain rails; Hamish pounded the kit with reckless literally bass pedal-busting abandon; Tom and Chris never stood still for more than a second before throwing themselves into their playing again."

"Super Luxury were super fucking noisy. Delayed by an errant drummer lost to Leeds taxi services, once they started it was like a bomb had gone off. Squalling distorted guitar, rumbling bass and crashing frantic drumming; all was played with gusto and passion over technical ability for the most part, but it was all the better for it. At the end of the day, it was just damn fun in a similar vein to Pissed Jeans. And the singer. By God, the singer spends less time being a singer and more time working himself up into a frenzy and running around the room. If something could be climbed onto, crawled under or wriggled through he did just that. This included skating round on a wheeled case, going under the stage and getting stuck in Oporto's distinctive portholes in the central wall. Very haggard, very awesome. All this was wasted on the somewhat nonplussed and at that point predominantly Gaslight-orientated crowd, but for those who dug it it was spectacular. Finishing caped in a Union Jack while letting off a confetti gun in one last Partridge act of insanity, Super Luxury were insane, atonal and borderline incoherent, while also being the funnest band of the day."

"Super Luxury like distortion and feedback, twisting both into hulking great slabs of ear abuse that recall the Jesus Lizard and Black Flag's sludgier moments without quite sounding like either."
Kerrang / April 2013
"The night has reached that stage where some crazy antics are needed to help push us into our second wind…luckily Super Luxury are here to rock their way into everyone’s nightmares. The music? Well it’s good ol’ heavy rock n roll. The highlight is not the rollicking guitar riffs but the antics of the band from Leeds, who seem intent on trashing the place and getting their kit off. Within minutes of their set starting, drummer Hamish Samsonite is down to his tights while the guitarist continues to harass lead singer Nodwell, knocking him off stage where he proceeds to stalker stare everyone around him. Towards the end of the last song Mr Samsonite has his drum kit heaved onto the dance floor where overly excited audience members bang away with him. The floor around us is bouncing pretty bloody hard. Well played boys, well played."
Silent Radio / Carefully Planned All Dayer, January 2013
"Super Luxury are developing by leaps and bounds. Acquiring a drummer and (probably) oodles of rehearsel time is gradually turning them into the sledgehammer gonzo rock band they clearly aspire to be. Subtle? Nah! Just a smash-everything-to-bits kind of sound. Despite sporting a broken hand, black eye and split lip from a recent 'unfortunate incident', singer Adam Nodwell is a still a congenial front man in spit of his audience barging and all over the place (even outside) gymnastics".
Vibrations / February 2012
"On in the cellar was Super Luxury who, hilariously, barred the door so that no-one could leave the cellar during a great set of strong, anthemic music. The screaming that accompanied it, though, is something beyond an acquired taste."

"We're loving this new three track EP from Leeds five piece Super Luxury, it's packed with meaty riffage, combined with a jagged discordant edge."
Room Thirteen
"The people here still talk about it and the receptionist hasn't been quite the same since."
Collective Zine
"Buy this loud, brash, brilliant EP and play it before you go out. It is fantastic. If Super Luxury don't become rich, disgusting rock stars who descend into madness and failed rehab, then life is unfair."
William Henry Prince
"Noise rock seems to be done damn well in Leeds and here come Super Luxury to add to the impressive list. Debut EP 'Mystery Thriller Teen Drama' combines classic riffage with modern time-signatures played with an energy and control to thrilling effect. Agitated, yelping, spiked and furious fun."
The Leeds Debacle
"Adam Nodwell (singer and self-proclaimed king of Leeds) is a genius and one day someone will erect a statue of him outside the town hall. It's enthralling idiotic disco punk with some of the swagger of Pissed Jeans that you'd be an idiot to ignore."
God Is Dad
"You can hear so much promise and potential within the debut from UK band Super Luxury that it is hard not to be excited about them and their future."
Ring Master Review Introduces
"If you dig music with heavy influences from The Jesus Lizard and other angular noise from the 90s (particularly that from labels such as Amphetamine Reptile and Glitterhouse) chances are, you'll dig Super Luxury."
Real Gone Rocks
"Leeds five piece Super Luxury's debut EP is a great record full of high energy rock music."
