“they’re back with the post-punk earworm 'Modern Age'.”
Stereogum
“Chipper, radio-friendly pop-rock that takes a brief detour into noise-rock”
Stereogum
"Dancehall's debut 'The Band' is an expertly crafted half-an-hour of music that is equal parts melodic as it is heavy-hitting, never outstaying its welcome and leaving one wanting more."
Drowned in Sound, 9/10
"Heroes of London's DIY underground scene, the band's opening flurry of releases have found a supportive audience, matching post-punk tendencies against delirious, off piste pop. a real jolt to the system, a short, sharp shock that contains a wealth of ideas underneath its crucial multi-colour surface."
Clash Music
"Every single release they have put out has been outstanding and their latest gem, ‘Droners’ adds to a faultless infant discography. Too clean for punk, too sanguine for grunge and too cacophonous for pop, this ticks all the boxes."
Podcart (Song of the Day)
"THREE-PIECE POST PUNK OUTFIT, DANCEHALL, ARE KICKING UP QUITE A STORM. MIXING MELODIES AND SHOEGAZE ELEMENTS, NEWEST SINGLE “VIRGIN” IS AN AWESOME PIECE OF ALT-ROCK WHICH WILL GET YOU MOVING INSTANTLY."
Wonderland Magazine
"NEU PICK: 'droners' takes [dancehall's] jagged form of hypnotic post-punk more into fuzzy shoegaze territory in the process."
DIY
"CAUSTIC SONGWRITING THAT DELVES INTO THE DARK. 'DIGGING' RECALLS ELEMENTS OF THE FALL AND IKARA COLT (REMEMBER THEM?) AND IT'S POISED TO EXPLODE."
Clash Music
"DANCEHALL ARE HEROES OF MODERN PUNK. WATER-TIGHT DRUM FILLS, SUCKER-PUNCH BASSLINES AND GUILLOUTINE GUITAR RIFFS ALL CLAMOUR FOR THE DRAWLED VOCALS' ATTENTION."
Raw Meat
"A screamingly catchy chorus and an ear damaging good guitar hook. the track finds the post-punk band outdoing themselves yet again."
