Review from the Banbury Guardian, Thursday October 30th 2008 (we've copied this verbatim, so please don't blame us for his incorrect song titles!) reads as follows :

"Awesome foursomes.

Four Fighters/Sirens Call, Mill Theatre, Banbury.

Imitation it's said, is the most sincere form of flattery, and that was adeptly illustrated on Saturday by a Leeds-based tribute band paying reverent homage to supergroup the Foo Fighters.

Four Fighters ply their craft with energy and accuracy, taking the audience through a repertoire of greatest hits and more with highlights coming in the form of favourites Learning to Fly, The Best of Me and the anthemic My Hero.

Lead singer Iain Angus and drummer Ric White capture the look, manner, and sound of Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins respectively. Five years of playing together as a unit was evident to the sometimes reserved Mill crowd, as the band displayed assured stagecraft and good tight musicianship.

"So, Four Fighters and four local lads with a real chance of success - who says there is nothing to watch in Banbury?"

i cudnt get tickets 4 the gig in wembley in june this yr, proper gutted!! but you guys rocked in workington last nite, u played my favs, doa, pretender,monkey wrench,times like these,no way back and of course my ultimate fav foo song all my life. thanks guys.my ears are still ringing from the music 2nite!!! ps dave ghrol needs to work on that accent lol! u rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT ON! XXX

Totally shocked by how good you guys were last night. We went to see the toxic twins but they had to cancel. You have definitely got another fan, if you play anywhere local to Sheffield I will be there. Keep up the good work, it was fantastic!!!

WOW! Four Fighters what a fantastic night. The Foos are awesome live and so are you guys. Song after song you were all amazing. The BEST tribute band we have ever seen. Cant wait till your back at the Yardbirds. Thanks for the photo Iain. Bev & Keith

Saw and LOVED ypu at Tribfest, can't wait to see you again!

Great sound. Great set and a great night out! Will definitely be seeing the Fours again when they're in the vicinity! Think that any Foos fan should check them out - if nothing else, you'll be up bouncing around to All My Life & This Is A Call!

The Four Fighters gave a FANTASTIC performance on Friday night at the TRIBFEST in Yorkshire. Thrashing through an hour of rockin' Foo songs with all the energy and musicianship of the real Fighters! Every strum, whammy and solo was spot on and true to Grohls' band. Having seen the Foo Fighters on several occasions I can truly say that the Four Fighters are the best tribute to the Foo you could ever hope to see. Thank you Four Fighters for a great gig and I look forward to bringing my friends along to your next event.

Just want to say saw you fellas at Tribfest this weekend and you were fantastic !!!!

Wicked night! had an amazing time, Marco's neck and shoulders are still aching from his head banging! Definitely worth seeing again! Keep rocking Penny & Marco

Saw you Sat nite at Goole's Fake Fest and will race about your performance 4 months 2 come.

Just the best gig i've seen at Kyps in a V long time..A V good night was had by all . Hoffman Sloth were fab ,we've seen them play at King Charles in Poole but just love the room to dance along at Kyps. The Four Fighters were GREAT ,having recently been to Wembley to see the real ones, I would say I enjoyed it more !!! so good having really fab music to listen to...will be coming EVERY time Four Fighters are there. We all do tend to travel a bit to see them as far as the Brook in Southampton, which also is a great venue but down side , someone has to drive, so if you like rock, Four Fighters are the ones see.. Please come back soon ,along with Green Day and Blondie. Thanks for a GREAT GREAT Night .

Keep rocking! You're fucking awesome!!

this was the 2nd time ide seen the fours and it was probably the best night ive had in a long time, well since the last time i saw the fours, all my friends whom ide recommended come see you couldnt believe how good you really are, the crowd did do you justice and loved every single minute of it, couldnt get enough and wanted more, cant wait for the next time but hopefully not too long away. keep it up and keep rockin

Amazing performance last night guys! I enjoyed every bit of it. Your perfomance and act is like an exact copy. I was stunned at how great you guys were. The best of the evening (always save it for last, right?) Oh and Iain remember "neuken!" (my friend told you outside the Bosuil to remember that) thank you guys!

What can i say guys, awesome is the word im lookin for. Great show and great guys for letting us take some photos with yous legends. Hope to see yous in Glasgow again sometime soon.

Another brill gig guys, a long wait for the start with no support act but it was worth it. Spot on sound (apart from the local accent between numbers) and 100% Foo attitude. Crowd a bit more up for it this time - compared to christmas - and it showed. Despite claims by others on the web, the best Foos tribute band we've heard, only bettered by the real thing

JAMES OOOPS, IAIN YOU HAVE PERFECT TEETH ALL JOKEIN ASIDE PEOPLE GO SEE THE GUYS YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY YOURSELFS AND WILL GO BACK AGAIN THE BAND ARE BALLS OUT ROCK N ROLL TAKE CARE GUYS JON

Hi Iain Just a quick line to say last night was amazing at the walkabout! Last time I saw you guys was at the Tumbledown in Farnborough and you were good then, but last night was bloody brilliant - was well worth travelling to London for. Cheers for a great night

Hi there, I just watched you guys play a kick ass set in Grimsby on sunday, you blew me away. As a massive foo fighters fan, I would of never expected there to be a tribute act as polished as that. It’s the first time I have ever air guitared and drummed sober in my life, you were fucking awesome cheers. I was hoping that I could book you guys to play a gig here again soon. If you could give me price for an evening of your time, it would be greatly appreciated.

One word - electric!! Four Fighters rock big time. This is the best tribute act I have ever seen. I am a big Foo's fan, and this was like watching the real thing! Fair play lads - hope to rock out with you again very soon!

Awesome night on Saturday boys!!!!! Keep us pencilled in for our wedding on 7th June

Iain, Hope all is well with you & the guy's, enjoyed a great night in Swindon thanks (16 travelled from Oxford)!! All the best Tris

Morning fellas Just a quick note to say that the gig @ 12Bar in Swindon over the weekend was absolutely superb – you guys have a great sound and likeness to the legendary Foos. Just wondering whether you have ever tried or have played at The Fleece in Bristol - http://www.fleecegigs.co.uk/? Cracking live venue with ample space – would be great to see you guys play there sometime… Cheers,

Highlights of the evening had to be The band who I thought we're amazing, I still can't believe how good Pretender & Everlong sounded and meeting the fake Dave Grohl after he wished me happy birthday on stage (thanks for arranging that Kirsty) and walking away with a drum stick

Four Fighters, Just wanted to say a massive thanks for Saturday night in Swindon! I'm probably one of the biggest Foo Fighters fans on the planet, I've been into the band since 1995, I've now seen them 29 times live over the years and Wembley in June will be my 30th. I've got to say that I saw your promo video on You Tube before the gig and I thought you sounded/looked good but the live experience was even better. I couldn't believe how good The Pretender and Everlong were. (use that quote on your website if you want) If I ever get married you lot are playing my Wedding !!! :-)

fantastic, played all of the favourites and even some tracks off the latest album GO AND SEE THIS GROUP AS A REVIEW WONT GIVE YOU ANY IDEA OF HOW GOOD THEY ARE!

amazing how just stumbling across something can change your whole night!! didnt know you guys were playing,heard you from the street, went in, and had a wicked evening, you guys must come back to donny, and this time i'll drum up a few extra bodies....cheers you made my night

hey guys, had to find ye on the web & just say again how much we enjoyed the gig. Ye were "savage" as we'd say in Limerick!!! Tell your pal to delete that video of us & get your asses back to Limerick soon!! The beers are on us next time :)

What a great show. You rocked the joint bigtime last night. From the opening onslaught of In Your Honour right through to Monkey Wrench it was a non stop rollercoaster ride of pure rock. Dave and the guys would have been proud.

Fuck me you're good, small ish venue but the place was packed and everyone was singing along, including me. Fantastic sound, took a few days for the ear ringing to cease. when are you coming back, cant be soon enough. D

fucking excellent. green-ish day should of supported you! must come back to brighton more often as it is actually like seeing the real band! really good covers of all the favourites including best of you and all my life. Very well covered when guitarists amp didnt work and iain casually went into big me. EXCELLENT. get your four arses back to brighton!!!

JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED YOUR PERFORMANCE RECENTLY! YOU DESERVED A BETTER TURN OUT THAN OF THAT ON THE NIGHT ALONG WITH JILTED GENERATION BUT IRRESPECTIVE OF THAT IT WAS STILL AN AMAZING SET! NOT SURE WE CAN MAKE IT ON SAT DUE TO JUST PAYING OUT AN EXCESS OF A MILLION POUNDS IN MORTGAGE FEE'S BUT WE'LL SEE. WE STILL WANT TO BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING (IF IT EVER HAPPENS!!)ALTHOUGH NOT SURE THE IN-LAWS WOULD APPRECIATE A MOSH-PIT SCENARIO!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FF! LINDS & RICH, LIVERPOOL!

Top nite, really enjoyed the show. Great to see such a authentic Foo's tribute show, been a foo's fan for ages now and your band is a must see for any serious fan. We will definitely catch your show again whenever we see it around again. 100% guys what a show !! P.s hat's off to the drummer, being a drummer myself i was both amazed and inspired.

The Four Fighters were so brilliant. I didn't know what to expect but we were right at the front and it sounded great! I must go see you again, you rock and are just like the real thing!

Amazing, spot on Foo fighters, Glad you played all the old Classics, e.g. 'Enough Space' Im 100% gona see you guys again!

Went to Snafu totally out of the blue(was supposed to be in local celebrating an exam success but got bored) and happened to stumble upon a great bar and even better band. How excited was I to discover a cover of my favourite band ever (u may have guessed that from the raving pi$$ head i.e. me, dancing like a loon in front of you all night!!!) I love Dave and Foo's more than anything, Everlong, My Hero and Generator are in my top 5 of all time... Anyway, I digress, you were wicked and played Generator (even if it was a rehersal!!) and I could have u play in my front room 24/7. Hopefully be seeing you all again soon... "if everything could ever feel this real forever..." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You were amazing guys. I never was a massive fan of the Foo's but I found myself happily singing along and as much as I hate to admit it, I had a super smashing great time and now I love them thanks to you. Thought the singing was shit hot, bang on the mark no faults there. keep up the good work in the new year guys, ill be popping along to see you at a future venue. Love from Beth on behalf of herself and the small bunch of noisy effort-making people who screamed and sang at you lots a few weeks ago.

The only difference between the Foo Fighters and the Four Fighters is just the name. Quality night from a quality band. For all venues and promotors out there if you have not looked at these guys you aint doing your job right!. Will be getting them back as soon as they are free at our other bigger venue, the 12 Bar.

Hey Guys, saw Foos at Manchester last December and this was like I was right back there, except with a front row seat!! Absolutely fantastic, right from the opening of In Your Honour to the ever-excellent All My Life. I was dubious at first seeing a FF tribute, being such an avid fan and a quite meticulous drummer, but I was blown away!! You guys have the Foos down to a 'T', from Taylors style of playing to Nate's mannerisms with his guitar, Vocals were right on the money giving massive presence. PA problems (not the Four's fault!) meant some songs lost vocals but they were well dealt with like true professionals. Get yourselves back to Hull soon!!!! Martin

man u guys are amazing, you never seem to disappoint. YOU ARE THE FOO FIGHTERS lol. keep up the good work dudes!

The heavens opened as the Cas Vegas crew stumbled out of the local weatherspoons in Leeds as we walked to the "coach of rock". A wee bit wet we stepped upon the coach to see the Bradford massive and some old faces I hadn't seen in a while. As soon as we reached the M1 the sun appeared with his hat on, and so did "peter kay live in bolton" on the in coach entertainment system. Nice choice Esther. After a short traffic jam, we reached the rock city venue in just over an hour n half. Everyone seemed in good spirit, this was prob due to Mr Kay. The cas vegas massive sneaked off into town to meet up with the rest of the crew (big dave etc). A few pints in a local watering hole we reached the rock city just as "In your Honor" was striking up. I pushed my way to the front to see again faces from the past. A good sound was being produced from the band and the in house P.A. The first 3 songs flowed nicely until Iain (Dave) Angus had a lil natter with the travelling and local fans. As the set went on the room became hotter, which showed on the crowd and the band. The crowed did seem to enjoy it though as you could see people nodding heads, mouthing lyrics and the odd foot tapping. After a in your face set, the FF boys finished with my personal fave, "Monkey Wrench". John and I started off a small jump or so.....followed by uncle fester himself "kes" dragging half the club with him to the front. By the time the chorus was being sung out the best pit the night saw had formed. A gathering of hairy arsed blokes throwing themselves round was the highlight for the FF boys, and they wee lil kids who came off worse from the destruction left by the pit. Anyway, a great set lads, Followed by a great tribute band Greenish Day. After the Show it was into the 3 nights clubs rocking and dancing to old faves I aint heard in years. The coach home was a lil bit quiet, but with "Top Gun" as the entertainment a few of us joined in with the "you lost that loving feeling" bit. How sad!!!!! A wee bit of vomit a short while later the coach reached Bradford and Leeds at around 3am. All in All this was a great night. The FF boys put in a real good performance, and with a few more gigs like this they could become one of the leading tribute acts in the UK. Nice 1 boys, lets have another trip like this 1 again!

Nearly missed this gig, only finding out about it at 5pm that day. Fate let me be there by giving me Foo Fighters breadcrumbs through the day. A guy on the bus with his 'All My Life' ringtone, buying a Dave Grohl book in HMV & later going in the Apple shop hearing the Foos playing in there. All this made me look at the guys site to find them playing locally! Boy was I glad I turned up. Me and the guys right at the front gave our all to try & match the energy of the 4 in front of us. Guys, you ROCKED!!! & my neck is still recovering, lol! Was great to say hello afterwards & put names to faces. Will try to get to another of your gigs ASAP!!! Thanks again for playing, blew me away again!!!!!!! Cheers, Sammo :)
