Live Review: Liars, HTRK DJs
"Not many could physically manage to reach up and punch a part of The Curtin's ceiling, but Andrew does - emphatically, to punctuate the beat - and we momentarily fear he'll literally bring the house down."

No bullshit.
Live Review: Liars, HTRK
There’s no denying the group has a brilliant discography, but seeing the trio change between drum kits, keyboards, homemade glitch stations and guitars mid-song was something to behold.
Live Review: Liars
The Liars live experience is so much more than a mere gig – it’s an exorcism.
Organised Chaos
"I mean we are a band that values the accident above all…"
Album Review: Liars - Mess
"Liars have continually subverted genre, expectation and taste to carve out a truly unique niche within the music landscape."
Liars - WIXIW
WIXIW Were Here
"We felt that we had to be adamant about how we felt the word should be interpreted because we hadn’t created it to be obtuse. A lot of time could be wasted through misinterpretation, which isn’t the point here."
Album Review: Liars - WIXIW
Wherever it heads, with WIXIW Liars have managed to deliver an intriguing, inventive, brave and ultimately very good record, one quite the departure from what you’ve heard from the band previously.
Album Review: Liars - WIXIW
There’s no pressure valve track here designed to startle the listener with a cathartic release of energetic aggression – everything is tempered and densely textured.
