Sounds Like:
"They knock out a well beefy slab of indie rock with influences along the lines of Biffy Clyro, The Vines and The Cure and execute their feisty tunes with due aplomb." The Crack.
"They strip their heartfelt vagaries of any hint of macho camouflage, letting their stomachs flutter and their tongues get tied... a band capable of celebrating heartbreaking anomie without being over earnest." Metro
“The Small Screen Light Show's ethic is fresh and energetic, their tracks possess that effortless charm that becomes a clean palette; they aren't bogged down by influences or stodged up by simile... It is refreshing to be confronted by a group that openly dares to aspire to such a personal sound.†NARC.
"Another awfully young, awfully good band. They sit somewhere in between that emo-ish indie fightpop sound and eighties poppy Cure-ish indie… I think it's early days, but I deffo, deffo want to keep an eye on this lot. You should too." Marsha Shandur (XFM)
