"The Rockadelic Kings, explosion like erruption of Funk, Hardcore-Rock-'n'-Roll, Reggae, Soul and pure emotion, with a combination of tempting hooks, catchy lyrics and an unbelievable sexy and intensive charisma the New York Cult-Hero and Rock Freak Lord Bishop is conquering the stages of the world.

"Lenny Kravitz meets Dead Moon" (Westzeit)

"A hell-raising assault on the senses. Badass black guitarist / singer-songwriter Lord Bishop has risen to give rock music a mighty kiss in the rear. Like many black rock artists from the 1970s.... this man is not afraid to make a spectacle of himself. He's a real character with his bright clothing, funny hats, and big black shades. But make no mistake about it...this man is not riding on image alone. He's one hell of a guitarist and singer...and this album is pure 100% proof. Don't expect limp wristed soul or mind-numbing rap. Lord Bishop is a true rock and roller. His plays loud buzzsaw guitar and sings with bulletproof intensity. His music will shake your bones and cause music fans to stomp and shake with every vibrant beat of his music. Bishop is by no means a second rate copycat. He writes all his own material...and it totally ROCKS. Badass tunes like "Bad Love," "Great Ass," and "Chocolate Covered" prove just how good this guy is. Lord Bishop is ... RED HOT." (Babysue/USA | Rating 5/5)

"The big black man! What was supposed to scare us as kids, in this case is nothing else than a musical sensation! .... Who could forget the experience of the voodoo-like Lord at the Noiseworks Parties last winter …. Here comes the grandmaster of Sex Rock: driven by simple heavy guitar riff" (Westzeit Magazine)

“This unique blend of SexRock will enthral audiences all over Britain and they are set to become firm favourites on the touring circuit.” (Gwent Gazette)

“Lord Bishop Rocks is Rock ‘n’ Roll at its best – led by a black Voodoo Funker laying down rock n’ roll the way it was meant to be.” (Scarborough Evening News)

“elaborate guitar playing, a rock, funk, soul blend of music, and amused with his sense of dress and repartee…. the music was loud, proud and brash but does not lack skill or fun. This is a band who is out to have a good time whatever happens and the show reflects that attitude.” (Hampshire Chronicle)

“Looking like he’s just raided Outkast’s wardrobe, and sounding like he’s contacted Jimi Hendrix in the afterlife, Lord Bishop creates a riot of colour, sound and spectacle …. combining some of the funk of Prince with the raw power of Motorhead” (Perth Advertiser)

“Hugely impressive Lord Bishop Rocks………. A fusion of hard rock, blues, funk and cutting edge pop……. the loudest, funkiest, dirtiest hard rock trio to hit town for many a year.” (Dundee Courier)

“more attitude than an entire block of the Bronx with a guitar sound that collapsed the valleys into their disused mineshafts…. Lord Bishop will prove an education for anyone under 18 growing up on the clean living sounds of Lost Prophets and Funeral For A Friend.” (South Wales Argus)

“when it comes to eye-catching outfits, saucy lyrics, the ability to keep a crowd entertained and just for keeping rock ‘n’ roll alive, Lord Bishop Rocks leaves The Darkness in the shade.” (Gwent Gazette)

“Lord Bishop Rocks. It’s a name, it’s an indisputable fact on the evidence of the day’s finale. Crimson peacock overcoat glinting in the evening sun, he delivered an explosive set of politically-charged, funk-edged rock which thundered across the park. One minute damning Bush and Blair, the next proclaiming his love for things feline (think about it), he held nothing back. He had the crowd singing along and, by the end, dancing on the stage in their dozens. Follow that.” (Wakefield Express)

Review of American Lies from Coolclub magazine Italy, by Gianpiero Chionna

" A look that it leaves it’s mark, between Texan hats and leopard skins; a boss from the Bronx could not do better! Lord Bishop inherits all the culture of soul, redesigning it with riffs from his six string that pay homage to Hendrix but also to punk ("freedom"). A link between the old and the new. This is the prescription of the Afro-American artist which is revealed here to be powerful and energetic, inflaming the tradition soul with violent and technical riffing typical of hard rock and punk' n roll but with splashes of the blues, Vomiting words of fire against America and its politics ("War stop the war"). Self nominated ` the king of sex rock', we bet that live Lord Bishop will make you shake your ass." (Coolclub Magazine Italy, by Gianpiero Chionna)

"An Alchemist Music Dream" (Alice Cooper)

"SexRock sounds like Jimi Hendrix on punk speed with the sexual discharge of James Brown fucking Marilyn Manson in the Ass" (Tina Sisko, Rolling Stone)

"How can he sing and play so bad and sound so fucking good!?" (Chris Robinson, The Black Crowes)
