Press Quotes

One of the most beautifully euphoric live experiences.

     —BBC World Review

The film manages that rare feat of giving you a glimpse of the power the band have live - see 'Skinheads' for evidence - and would surely prompt anyone watching to make plans to see the band in the flesh as soon as possible.

     —Pat Carty, Hot Press

Whatever it is, this is it. Kíla are right there at the cusp of it ... Somehow you get the feeling they lit the fuse for the Big Bang.

     —Bono

Softly spoken offstage and complete lunatics on it, Kíla have torn up the rule books with their wantonly eclectic mix of styles. Brilliant!

     —Pat Carty, Hot Press

Language is next to useless when faced with alchemy such as this.

     —Pat Carty, Hot Press

... shows why they have for some considerable time occupied an alternative planet when it comes to traditional music. Their brand of magical, mystical, world infused music sets them apart.

     —TradConnect

All the wonderful, shamanistic energy of the amazing Kíla.

     —Neil Jordan
