    Silence Yourself reveals Savages to be a cross between the Horrors (fondness for black, allegiance to art-rock, time spent in Dalston) and Sleater-Kinney (devotion to Wire, lack of male members, stentorian vibrato) with a soupcon of the Knife (fondness for manifestos, tribal beats, forbidding glee).

The Savages take hold of their influences, and smash them into a rearing collection of songs with a clear similarity but also with fresh, exciting intentions of their own.… Full Review »
