Ace new review in Backseat Mafia – 8.8/10
Click on the link below for a great new review of the full Seaside Donkeys album. The Guzzler says “Percy have evolved into a full on force to be reckoned with. A previous 2018 release “Sleepers Wake” was the first to showcase the present lineup and saw them regain an edge not heard since 20 years previously; “Seaside Donkeys” builds upon this whilst also introducing a keener sense of melody and arrangement, alongside moments of clangourous new-wave guitar and piercing dissonance…”

‘Will of the People’ Video goes live
Friday 1st May saw the video for ‘Will of the People’ go live with views in the 100s in the first 24hrs. Very well received by all the video is nicely summed up by www.madmackrel.org “Here is an excellent animated video for left-field post-punk band Percy’s frenzied, vitriolic governmental anti-anthem Will Of The People. The track comes from their new album Seaside Donkeys, which drops on 8th May. The album is an in-your-face scream that represents the gritty realism of the 2020s and the slow, inexorable decay of the UK…”
The video is all the work of Ash at http://www.hotfroganimations.com/ the likenesses to the band members is remarkable.
Music News.com 4/5 review “One hell of an Album”
Fantastic review of the Album in Music News.com from Phil Snipper “As one who lived through the original Punk wars I can recognize a lot of the different bands that made that such a vibrant time in Percy’s music and they carry it off with class whether it is in Johnny Rotten’s sneer, Howard Devoto’s otherworldliness or Rat Scabies thumping drumbeats – there are even elements of Frank Zappa and Capt Beefheart in there! They write real songs with memorable melodies and, most important, lyrics that matter….” we’ll have that thank you very much .

First full album review, and its a cracker
Full album review just in from Bill at With just a hint of Mayhem : “Percy are most definitely back with a bang. ‘Sleeper’s Wake’ was good but ‘Seaside Donkey’ is a whole new level. Punk, post-punk, US Garage, UK pub rock is all rolled into those menacing, satirical, maniacal, dark and twisted tales of life that Percy fans have come to know and love! If you miss out on this album then you really are a seaside donkey!”
