'When I listen to Wrestlerish I think of driving in the passenger seat and
losing out under streetlights and I think of bicycles and glitter and I
think of girls and the way hearts used to break so well in the old days. A
quarterlife crisis is a ridiculous thing to have, but he's making the
soundtrack to mine.' - Hunter Kennedy (MK Bruce Lee, aKING, Die Heuwels
Fantasties and Fokofpolisiekar)
'Vocally flawless. Lyrically lustrous. My new favourite band!' - Ryk Master
(Kidofdoom)
'Wrestlerish are unlike anything else going on at the moment. I feel like
I'm reaching for words to explain something that must be experienced.
Wrestlerish are new, they are vaguely familiar in a warm way and they are
going to be huge.' - Nathan Zeno (Levi's Music Mag, Mahala.co.za)
'Their x-factor is in their heart-wrenching music and they know how to put
one in a bubble. There's also Olckers' bad-boy charm and enthralling voice.'
- Kgomotso Moncho (Tonight / Pretoria News)
'Wrestlerish renews you're faith in the ability of South African
songwriters. Every note offers something fresh, original and extraordinary,
a truly great band.' - Horse Productions
'Honest and unadorned. With great understanding in the art of marrying
pop-sensibility with candour and sincerity!' - Griet Artists
'His modern, Pretoria take on country is more pick-up lines than pick-up
trucks, more hug-your-dog than kick it... But still. Imagine an old midnight
cowboy gazing down a city street while lighting a Lucky, and saying 'that
there's Bear country.' - He's talking about Wrestlerish.' - Liam Lynch
