A unique combination of post-rock hardcore, with mumbled vocals over a tightly-wound and disciplined backline that always sounds like its about to teeter over the edge into chaos, but at the last minute theres a change of tempo and restraint wins out. The only other band in the world that can manage this sort of thing is the amazing Joeyfat and Kyote are up there with them. If you dont like this you may as well cut your heart out and feed it to a passing dog. |

An unbelievably intense churning of post-rock groove. Kyote are my new favourite band. The sound is an utterly irresistible combination of grit and smoothness, of the repetitive and the random. The only acts in the last few years to give me that instant "wow" factor have been Stanton, Cat On Form and Joeyfat. An inspired Kyote thought to consider: "Pollen melts the snow" |

Beautifully packaged CDR release/demo callitwhatyouwant. It has a hand written quote inside it, mine's from Woody Allen. I hope it's a different one in each CD. Kyote play a sort of downbeat indie rock that recalls Arab Strap if I was being lazy (I'm sure that's the not the first time they've heard that) though The New Year is a better comparison due to the economy of the playing (it states the EP was recorded live). The band sounds a little embyonic at times, the riffs are sometimes of the kind where they go exactly where you think they will. In a time of insanely complex mathematical bands who end up sounding like a Spectrum 48K cassette loading, this is no bad thing. And like The New Year and Bedhead there's this tension created by the band constantly sounding like they could suddenly drop a rock-out with no problems at all, they're just choosing not to. Good stuff. |

On record they're a bit like Arab Strap or New Year, but live it all morphs into something bigger, reminding these oft drunken ears of the Broken Social Scene or maybe even the genius of Bailterspace. |

The Kyote sound is also a mostly gentle affair, reminding this dog of acts like The National, or Arab Strap, hmm or maybe like Joeyfat being dragged backwards through a forest of dead leaves, reading from a poetry book with half the pages missing. Indeed! Their songs have cleverly twisting tune structures and obliquely portentous lyrics. Wing your heads to the website, these guys are definitely onto something. |

Kyote swing in a post-punk, post-rock kinda way, switch tempo, build loudly then go pop! We reckon they sound like the bastard child of Slint and Pavement. And he's a really cool bastard. |
 |
Kyote are a joyous revival of, what I like to call, post modernism hardcore. This is hard driven guitar bass and drums under a wash of reflective spoken word vocals. One of the most original live bands we've stumbled upon in a long time. Fans of the Fall, Joeyfat, Slint and anything good will not be disappointed. |
