Sounds Like: We don't really know. Suggestions?
Ruby and her Whorses - 'Still as lovely as the first time I met them (although I haven't met the bassist but I'm sure he's lovely too) just with even better songs. I mean, like, properly good songs, like you'd hear on the radio, or Top of the Pops. Lovely.'
Containz Nutz - 'Telekinesis with turtles when trouts try out for the toothbrush totem-polers'
Keagan Barr - 'Well they sound like a heavenly descent of an angel only they arnt really angels so it sounds just like a descent really. ... basically, if whales could fly and chimps could talk then these guys wouldnt be good.
there we go, how was that ???'
Neal Zetter (myspace.com/nealzettercomedyperformancepoet)- "Sounds like? Absolutely nobody else at all and that's gotta be a good thing because originality is the one of the key ingredients to success - and they deserve it as they are spiffingly good"
John Alfred Longott "'To The Dogs' sounds like the workings of your favourite author's brain as he's reviewing his best novel, alone by the sea, while the tide gently rushes the shoreline and a silent rain begins falling, announcing the coming storm."
Two in the Hand "A lovely racket"
