Press clips:
"This Italian group, made up of three 19 year-olds, know what sounds good and they get right to the point by making music that updates The Kinks for the 21st century." - Dany Sloan, Exitfare
"sorry-ok-yes’ music is the fast paced, high energy, crazy, fun, get up and dance type of music! They’ve managed to combine their band instruments with synths really well so neither one takes over the other too much. The guitar and bass melodies are amazing and the keeper of the beats (drummer) does a really good job in creating a great rhythm to dance to. In addition to the whole combination- the Italian accented singing does add a little something." - Hot Generation
"SORRY-OK-YES is about to storm the world with some music that will not be soon forgotten" - SerTop
"Music just the way i like it, short, strait to the point no bullshit, no pop rock and roll. - N.Y. MUSIC BRIDGE
"Franz Ferdinand tainted with loads of Strokes style guitars and a punky attitude a la Cribs. All quite raw… I can now hear The Fall too…" - Bugbear Promotions
"New wave-y garage pop." - Time Out London
"A highly interesting Italian bunch of Beefheart obsessives." - The Good Ship
"...although the time spent together's not that much, the tracks are not that bad. It's clear they got ideas, and great ones, the bass and guitar lines entwine greatly alternating with the usual made-in-uk stop and gos.A notable debut work, worth mentioning and praisin." - troublezine.it
"...tracks are very pleasent and written with a simple and spontaneous arrogance, no frills, just well crafted riffs and vocal lines, inbetween Strokes, Ian Curtis and Iggy Pop.My favourite one is Smocky Electro Eyes, that actually seems a Stooges track at Fun House level, but played drunk as hell. As to say, the boys will make themselves (by any means) but the skills don't fail to surface here and there. I don't know, today is a beautiful day. Did i tell you they're such funny guys? Sincerely, I'd love to hear more things like these than others: there's more rock in here. A full intentions band." - RockLab
"...the promo centers its target, we're not in front of the ordinary punk rock kids, not even we're in front of the metalcoversthatbecomesongsandsoundallthesame, we're in front of something that people have not understood yet, but something that everyone will speak about very soon..." - Mantux, Music Blog
