PRESS QUOTES
"They are going to be as adored and revered as cult bands the Cardiacs and Virgin Prunes whilst having the potential to be Muse or Queen. Debut album Mondo Maleficum... is a masterpiece." - Louder Than War
"They’re destined to be this generation’s Talking Heads." - Amplify The Noise
"Brilliant new band." - John Robb
“What Erotic Secrets of Pompeii do so brilliantly is to bring all these diverse influences and sounds together into one great new whole, unlike any one element - utterly brilliant, utterly unique! Delivered with a style, a panache and a hint of madness… and all dressed up in sequins.”
