"Deservedly confident! Upbeat... 3 stars!"
High Voltage
"...Kid Captain are no sound-a-like band; the intelligent, complex tracks they have created are testament to that. There's frantic guitars, atmospheric sound, strong lyrical content and most importantly passion! This is the kind of sound you wish Morrissey was making these days!"
This is fake DIY
"...a pulsing bass line and succession of single guitar notes and the odd keyboard flourish all underpins the really quite astounding vocals....heavily influenced by Puressence along the way and perhaps you’re halfway to imagining what this rather brilliant band sound like. Definitely check Kid Captain out." MMMM ½ ManchesterMusic
"Kid Captain bless us with a chilling Smiths-Ian pop that you can have a good gin-induced cry to. Miserable list? no this is rousing, pulling you back-from the-brink-brilliance" Andy Roberts THE FLY
