undefined Demo review - taken from Unpeeled fanzine series 4 #2
This is great. A band with a manifesto, charm, swagger, style and effortless cool. A band with everything, except the tunes to go with all of that. Don't worry, that'll come. We Can Build You claim rather than admit PJ Harvey, Joy Division and the Pixies as influences and disarmingly state that their lyrics are "utterly lacking in lyricism". That's very cool indeed but the actual noises they're making on this cd sound more like I'd imagine Veruca Salt did at their first rehearsals. More dropped notes than a spy convention, but they're already fucking around with the format and putting the bits back together in interesting ways. I look forward to them pissing on me from a very great height when they get it sorted out.

Live review taken from Unpeeled series 4 #4
First on a bizarrely curated bill, We Can Build You came as something of a surprise, cos I've never enjoyed a shite band quite so much. It's difficult to tell if any of them can play their instruments AT ALL, but as soon as they can write some songs it won't matter. They're all different sizes, which is funny, and they're all a bit nervous, which is always unsettling. Sounding like the more abstract elements of Truman's Water played at polite volume underneath a slowed-down Catatonia record underwater with a small dog yelping at inappropriate moments, they have the potential to be THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD. Or one of the lamest, depending who's in charge(is it the little nervous chap with the fucked guitar or the attractive lady singer? I know where I'd vote, but it's none of my business). One of the songs had screaming in it, and another nearly had a chorus. They even got to play an encore, which consisted of something they hadn't even written yet. Then the war started.
