"...the Antics have been gigging steadily across their home country, including a high profile show at the legendary Asylum Club in Chelmsford with STIV CANTARELLI & THE SILENT STRANGERS as well as a storming appearance at the Cosmic Puffin Festival in April."

- Gerry Ranson, Vive Le Rock, 2016

"It’s an excellent video for an equally superb track. [the music video to 'Nobody Cares'] I like how broken and unstable it sounds, even if it insults my mum throughout, and firmly pushes the boundaries of Punk and Industrial music right into your face."

- Adam Reeve, Sounds Good, 2021

"Having booked these guys several times it's clear the Penny Antics are one of our favourites, this duo is bringing back the raw side of rock n roll and we love it. They are dynamic and have something to say."

- Josh Unwin, JAR Records, 2018

"These guys are a duo from my own home county of Essex and they perform a kind of grunge/punk rock that’s sure to get your blood pumping and your head banging. Awesome."

- Adam Reeve, Exploding Head Syndrome, 2016
