"What do you think is your band's greatest strength?
Rory Burnside, guitar/vocals: Being able to work together as a team, even though it's mayhem when we aren't playing our songs. When we do play it's team work."

"Although they were only added to the bill late in the game, Melbourne six-piece Rudely Interrupted have emerged as one of the most anticipated bands to play Laneway Festival. They stand apart from their peers not because of the intellectual disabilities from which they all suffer, but because their music is some of the most energetic and genuine to emerge from the Australian rock ‘n’ roll underground in recent times. Their songs lift the band above the realm of novelty and give them a cultural cache in the image-obsessed world of indie rock."
- Time Out Sydney Review
"Every artist has a selling point, from Pete Doherty (smackhead) to 50 Cent (bullet-proof) and even Train (blandness). What separates them from the William Hung’s of this world is that their shtick does not outweigh their abilities as artists. Melbourne’s Rudely Interrupted, a band whose members suffer from a range of intellectual disabilities, play a brand of Killers-esque pop so catchy that you quickly leave your preconceptions at the door. You may also start to question your own potential in life."
