"Glorious girl-boy grandaddy-like sun-pop"

NME

"They make the kind of music that is simply addictive. Forget what you might think, it turns out Manc indie music can still be original."

BBC Manchester

"Carlis Star's songs are wonderfully sweet blasts of melody, synths and adrenalin"

Music Mart

"Unwavering optimism coupled with fuzzy punkpopping rock promises a pretty good gig time if you are in a similarly inclined mood. And if you're not, you need to be asking yourself why that is."

Sandman Magazine
