"The only way to gain approval is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me"
"Fast, pounding drums provide the backbone, while a deep, busy bass rumbles along. There's much riffing, ripping and sizzling from the two guitars, and the singer has an unusual style - loud and clear but with a tone slightly reminiscent of Nick Cave. At times the songs can be dark, strange, tribal tinged affairs, but mostly an American rock style ala Pearl Jam / Foo Fighters / Stone Temple Pilots is in evidence. All that with a slightly punky delivery makes this one rather scintillating act....."
(NEON PROMOTIONS)
"The heavy Grunge influences are apparent throughout their music whilst even giving a more modern 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster feel at times, but the more you listen, the more you notice the vast amount that is actually going on within the music. Their sound has been honed into a musical machine, and this is only backed by an impressive, energetic performance on stage showing emotion and the sheer drive needed to play well and portray a sense of strong feeling throughout."
(BEN HACKNEY @ PETERBOROUGH.NET)
"Their band is pretty ace. What we have here is The Killers mixed with the (omnipresent) Queens Of The Stone Age. There's something compact and appealing about them, and they are a lot poppier than they perhaps realise. Chappy up front has a cool voice as well."
(MATH PRIEST @ RHYTHM MAGAZINE)
