Live review (on our show at the 'festival de sédières'):
(click here for more reviews)

"[...] Puis, la place est laissée aux groupes de rock a guitares... Le premier à fouler la scène est l'une des révélations de l'année avec le très recommandable album Birds at home : les Hollandais volants d'Alamo Race Track. Malgré un volume sonore trop élevé (culminant avec une orgie de larsens ˆ la fin du show), les quatre musiciens ont proposé au public (très réceptif) un set aussi brûlant que glacial. La musique d'Alamo Race Track est en effet aussi bien dans la veine Joy Division (ambiances froides et gothiques, chant superbe et prenant à la Ian Curtis) que dans celle d'un rock aérien et énergique avec guitares acérées. Sur disque, l'effet est saisissant, mais dans une salle de concert, l'intensité, la qualité et la versatilité des compositions d'Alamo Race Track éclate au grand jour. La série de tubes acidulés enchaînés avec une virulence à peine croyable provoque carrément des envies de pogos, de plongée en apnée, de virée nocturne dans une forêt bien sombre, voire de sauts dans le vide sans parachute. Ce groupe semble avoir un potentiel pour conquérir un large public. Il a impressionné tout le monde à Sédières... Et même le chanteur de The National, qui ira longuement féliciter son homologue après le concert et remerciera sur scène Alamo Race Track pour sa prestation."
(Pierre Andrieu)

some press-reviews on our album:

'Une merveille de rock atmospherique et tranchant, par des hollandais volants. [...]En abrege, Alamo Race Track donne ART - et c'en est.' Les Inrockuptibles

'Alamo Race Track livre un album qui donne furieusement envie de vire, une bouffee d'oxygene dans l'ambiance morose collective de la pop actuelle. [...] Alors que d'autres tentent le pluralisme stylistique sans rien vraiment maitriser, Alamo Race Track se permet le luxe de multiplier les directions sans jamais nous emmerder.' Rock Mag

'On ne va pas y aller par quatre chemins, ce disque est tres bon, mais alors tres bon. Race, classe, vivifiant, plaintif et fragile [...] A caler quelque part entre les Strokes et Radiohead, Birds at Home est un plaisir de disque, a decouvrir vite fait." Velvet

Now online: a short video-report of this trip we've made For MTV-news.

A review on our SXSW-showcase:

"The Austin Chronicle" (Sat. March 20, 2004):
"[...] Amsterdam's Alamo race track, on the other hand, does rock. Brittle and discordant riffs play off melodic vocals, with the guitar players using the tonal contrast of Gibson and Fender guitars to good advantage. Their chunky, pounding intesity calls to mind Jesus Lizard or Jawbox, with a power and gravity the opening band never quite mustered up. Closer "Tell me what is going on" hit a double-time tempo with an urgency that wrapped up their set like a nice little package of arsenic." (Jerry Renshaw)
