Sounds Like: "I really like it. 'Us' is a great song." - Ginger Bloke (MTV2 GONZO)
"Kets are a great, melodic band from north London, they write brilliant tunes fronted with smooth, yet energetic vocals. They provide a great mixture of upbeat, catchy choruses and smooth entrancing verses topped off with clever lyrics about simply things that are familiar to themselves." - Bush Hall
"A group of younguns show what is to come with their Belle And Sebastian meets Maccabees style guitar pop." - 93 Feet East
