The Puncture Repair Kit - Debut EP out now!

About Me

"Sometimes you get a feeling about a band, a hunch, a light bulb moment that causes you suddenly to spin round like Columbo and go “Just one more thing” before pursing your lips and making a bold prediction. I think The Puncture Repair Kit are going to be huge." - god is in the tv

"The best thing to come out of Cambridge since homosexuality" - Paul Heaton
