100 Bullets Back are the Prince William's of electro pop, they provide a clean-cut class long since needed in a very dirty underground scene.
Conceived at Oxford's prestigious Henry Box School theyd make the dream escorts for any debutante from Roedean or Cheltenham Ladys College.
But don't be coned by the raw rugby club charm these Chaps deliver live and write tunes on a par with OMD, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Killers and - Franz Ferdinand.
They're making the 80's of Knight Rider and New Order fresh and relevant for the problems faced by the youth of today.
Momentum is building 100 Bullets Back have been play listed on KROQ in L.A., championed on XFM and broadcast in Serbia and Montenegro.

Record Reviews
"Intelligent, inventive, tuneful and confident, and it has bucketloads of style. If you like electro with a kick or a slickness to your rock 'n' roll, I would swiftly point you in 100 Bullets Back's direction." - Holl(i)y Davies - Drowned in Sound.
"This is a cool record that updates the synth-pop template with a light touch, high energy and panache, clever without being smartarse, catchy without striving for effect. It?s impressive and more importantly, it?s fun." Matt Finucane.
"Cracking 21st century pop, not to be passed by! Producing a new age electro sonic sound experience, this album will make you feel real good. (Cd of the week august 31st)." - The Overflow
"Their hyperactive synth-heavy electro rock ?n? roll is definitely what the people want! Similar in sound to chart topping Franz Ferdinand (but with balls)." - Kat Lynch - Screaming Tarts
"100 Bullets Back are good good good, they?re making some kind of attitude laden new romantic pop that keeps threatening to turn in to Heaven 17 or Visage or a flock of housing estate seagulls (in a cool kind of way). Got to hold on, got to hold on. They sound like they?re on a punk rock budget, they sound all the better for it, never give this band money, they?ll blow it!. Synth pop with attitude, tear off your bloated labels, fiddle while romo burns again, let?s make history part nine, no competition, all it does is kill popular culture - art, product, the bitter pill, hundred reasons - ooooooooo, we fade to grey, don?t follow fashion , buy something that?s out of date. Infectious electro-pop classics, pet shop-lifting boys, the price that we all pay, lead us back in to temptation. Cool as F electro synth pop from Oxford or Reading or some crap town like that." - Sean Organ - http://www.organart.com/
"...so good is this second outing from Oxford trio 100 bullets back, we couldn't contain our over bound joy of it...Both 'I know' and the attendant flip side 'Bangkok (Everybody needs somebody to love)' are up there as some of the most infectious trappings of electro-pop Post punk/dance crossover we've had the pleasure of hearing all year. Not your usual gloom / austere riddled tunes that most operating in this field seem so happily at churning out, this lot instead draw upon that sense of coldness and splice it with an almost get up and go charge that's immediately loveable and more importantly as catchy as fuck...Be warned, the sound of (in) crowd." - Mark@LOSING - TODAY.Com
"And here's another vote for the underground. While the inkies are all falling over Franz Ferdinand, here's some kids from Oxford doing a similar thing on a fraction of the budget, but still sounding better. With one ear on the 80s (OMD, New Order, Pet Shop Boys) and the other on making a joyful pop racket for 2004. Yes there's keyboards but they are a slave of the song and not vice versa. There's tunes and suss and wistfulness and all sorts in here; even I wasn't so tired from writing nine months of reviews I'd tell you more about it but I'll leave you to find out for yourself." - Richard Rose - R*E*P*E*A*T Fanzine - Review of The Lost Souls Club
"Popping up from a similar musical direction to the likes of Hot Hot Heat, 100 Bullets Back hark back to that golden age - the early 1980s. 'The Lost Souls Club' is XTC-style proto-indie funk-pop, led by a lightweight but nagging guitar chime and softly duelling vocals... takes a downturn into moodier territory - synthetic strings and a motorik groove...not bad stuff." - Nightshift - Oxford's Music Magazine - Review of The Lost Souls Club
Live Reviews
"100 BULLETS BACK'S indie/dance crossover at once drowning out the voices and pulling intrigued punters stagewards like a punk funk tractor beam. Their set was a little hit and miss, but when they hit, the effect was close to devastating, and will probably saddle the band with comparisons to the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Pop of the Tops alumni Bloc Party. Dance beats and distinctly 80s synths are married to elastic basslines and abrasive guitars, while slightly over Americanised vocals louchely drawl over the top. Certainly one to keep an eye on." - Pop of the Tops, New Cross, London, JOYZINE
'One of the hottest new bands around..." - Blah Blah, Reading
