REVIEWS
MATT DYSON, BBC BERKSHIRE/ NME writer:
"Now this is a clean, unexpected, hit. Like a midget leaping to chin Peter Crouch, the opening riff of I am I can I will would have the most cynical giant applauding their nerve."
BLAH BLAH MAGAZINE (Berkshire's biggest free arts & music mag. 40,000 copies per month) REVIEW OCT 06....".....they've got one of the best frontmen i've seen in a long time. Not only can he sing, but he's one hell of a guitarist. He's reminiscent of a young Joe Strummer, and the set is full of passion and energy."..... "...Tim Potter, who co-wrote some of the songs, and Andy Russell, whose brilliant drumming and tight driving bass, respectively made sure that the set flowed effortlessly."
PLUG N PLAY (one of Readings best venues) NEWS LETTER SEP 06 "...these rising stars have been playing all over the south in recent months and guarantee a great gig wherever they perform. Brash and in-your face is the key to this band's show. Yer mother wouldn't like it."
JOSAKA.COM (the much loved music website resource in Berkshire) by the Godfather, Kevin Harrington ... "genuinely foot tapping songs!"
