The group has maintained a strong presence on the UK festival circuit due to the nature of the combination of dance music and live elements and they have consistently received critical acclaim for their live shows. Gig reviewers have commonly described their live shows as being energetic and displaying ferocity.

Subsource: A Dubumentary
Colin Arnold (Surgery Productions) directed a documentary following the band's journey over the course of 18 months, finishing in early 2011. The film's tagline is 'Most music documentaries are produced after bands have made it... very few capture their journey'. The film was released on DVD on 29 October 2012 by Left Films.[6][7] The film was made available to view
John Landis described the documentary as being 'An insightful look at the truth about rock and roll.' [8]
'Dubumentary' is a portmanteau of dubstep and documentary.
