Praise for Future Chaser:

AU Magazine:
"Serrated guitars, vice tight drums and impassioned lead vocal are employed to create deliciously spiky melodies, songs like 'Novatrix' and 'Wake Up Soon' are propelled forward with all the devastating force of a Scud missile."

Hotpress:
"There was a real swagger to their performance and the song they played had a huge Green Day-style chorus, which two days later I'm still humming.
- Stuart Clarke

RTÉ 2fm:
"The level at which the bands were operating for school kids was astounding, especially their ability to perform live on national radio. Congratulations to the winners Future Chaser, they looked good and sounded good...they'll go a long way"
- Cormac Battle (ex-Kerbdog/2fm presenter)"
