Unexploded mentioned in UK music blog Losing Today/The Sunday Experience; "Unexploded - two of the tracks - 'Unavoidable' and 'Bitchslapping A Crocodile' literally kicked us out and just plain refused to give up their sounds. The demurring gravitational tug of 'Invert' is neigh on impossible to resist, a sublime slice of tenderly amorphous panoramic dream pop metered out by looping clock working beats, lunar synth swirls, celestial opines and shimmering riff chimes all seductively harnessed upon a pulsar like lovelorn liquid landscape set upon the subtle foundations of an acutely pop calibrated kraut dialect, we suspect we need to hear more and soon."

Unexploded got a good review last month at International alternative music site Heathen Harvest; "Unexploded ventures off to a synth rock style, utilizing many layers of music and combining rock and electro to create his own distinct style. Unexploded was a very pleasant surprise, and I hope for Unexploded that he can get his name out there. I think he'll be able to find a good audience. This EP was very pleasant, with the strongest two tracks at the start. Looking forward to hearing more from this artist." Check out the review here or read other reviews on Unexploded right here.
