"Midas look set to be one of the top indie bands of 2007"
Sean Coleman (Kerrang! Radio)

"Think the dancier end of Lostprophets or maybe even a rockier, more raw Arctic Monkeys, and you're somewhere around Midas' sound. It's a bouncy and contagious number which will be going around your head for days"
Laura Careless (thisisfakediy.co.uk)

"With youth on their side and a bunch of quality songs already written, they can only get better and better"
Phill Huxley (BBC)

"They have produced a superbly catchy, faced-paced tune in 'Don't Dance'. Once you get the blighter onto your stereo, you can't stop playing it! More please!"
Jason Ritchie (Classic Rock Newswire)

"Midas are the latest bunch of shouty young 'uns to put up a fight. And a good fight it is as the frenetic driving rhythm and howl along chorus does much to lift them above the grey, shapeless mass of indie rock."
Metal4Life.com

"Whether they’re mocking FOB or just trying to beat them at their own game, Midas are onto a winner, unbelievably catchy hooks, fast paced danceable rhythms, and the yearning hooks that assure they’re head and shoulders above the competition… Brilliant stuff!"
Subba-Cultcha.com

"Midas do commercial hooks and jangly, stacatto guitars. Dealing with a night out at a club somewhere the track may be called 'Don't Dance' but but it lies: this will get you dancing."
HardRockHouse.com

"Brash rock from Stourbridge, which I’ve always thought to be a pretty rock town. Consider this more evidence. ‘Don’t Dance’ bounces like a young Dave Lee Roth on a car bonnet. Vibrant, and all ready for piling onto the dancefloor, the synth squirt an extra incentive to get amongst."
VanityProject.co.uk

"It's surprisingly hard to pigeonhole Stourbridge fivesome Midas. At times they sound like the long lost brothers of fellow UK breakers Boy Kill Boy, yet their smartly timed electro influences and punchy chorus tend to lead them more imminently toward the sound of Disco Ensemble et al."
RockMidgets.com

"They fair launched themselves into the first track, with breathless singing, dramatic hair-tossing and some heaving bosoms that wouldn't look out of place on Avril Lavigne."
silverfootedgigslut.blogspot.com

Midas, a young bunch from sexy Stourbridge, provoked even wider grins. “Don’t Dance” is a breezy slice of pop-laced modern rock and you’ll no doubt hear this on a radio near you soon."
