...................................................Things said about GPG's Nov '10 self-titled debut EP:...............................................
[Nialler9 - state.ie 'faces of 2011']
"A mix of taut indie-rock rhythms, boisterous harmonies and reflective melodies, the band display an assured and established sound so we’re convinced that there is plenty more to look forward to in the coming 12 months. Go Panda Go indeed!"

“Galway-based dream weavers Go Panda Go think big. Shimmering electronics, shape shifting guitar riffs, choral harmonies and punchy chants are all incorporated into the hugely clever ‘Decoded’ – even fiddle picker extraordinaire Daithí Ó Drónaí contributes his talents. Comparisons to Animal Collective are inevitable, but with a debut this good, GPG shouldn’t have to worry about making their own mark.”

[Chris Johnson, BBC ATL]
"There's plenty going on here: bright guitars, polyrhythmic drumming and unique multi-layered vocals, yet everything is cleverly spaced out, without being invasive of each other."

[Dan Hegarty (2fm) 'Heineken Ones to Watch 2011']
"At the risk of making them sound dodgy, Go Panda Go (pictured) are the kind of band whose music puts you in a good mood! They rounded 2010 off with the release of their debut EP, and a national tour. Even the snow and ice couldn't resist their sound, as the band finished the tour, and now ready themselves for an interesting 2011."
