"There is something cool happening here. It's new. It's old. Call it revisited if you like, but its here with a lot of power and movement. This ain't your Daddy's square emo music, so forget being sad...they've managed to make quite an impression on New York's Mod scene, and maybe soon the rest of you. At times I hear The Beatles production and energy. And positive, fun, and head banging punch. The vocals are strong with great harmonies. But that real kick is that damn cool drive of the drums, pushing ahead the loud guitars. That drummer is driving all the way to town, with the attitude and power of The Who's Keith Moon (with the exception of one live track, the drums on the CD were actually played and recorded by guitar player-vocalist Egg)
London Egg's songs are strong and quite contagious. Maybe infectious. The standout song is "Turn On The Scene" with it's anthemic march through a Dresden bombing raid like a mission to get you up on your feet. I'd say the answers that come from other scenesters will be very positive. "In The Garden" is very "yellow, orange, and near" – a Byrdsism I've borrowed from a back cover.
But however you try to label them, they are fun to hear. Even empowering. Their new CD full length album "In The Beginning..." is well worth the price of flying on your own cloud of cool, away from the heathens who won't get it. Many of us DO get it, though. It was the singer of the Ivy Lines that flat out demanded that I "write a feature article on those cool bastards straight away!". And "If you knew what was good for you, or knew anything about cool, you'd do it for the sake of promoting something outside the hip-hop crybaby garbage strewn across our airwaves!". Yeah, Patrick, I got it. I was listening anyway like many of us ready for something different. Something cool." – The Underground Hedgehog, Jensen Campbell, Freelance Journalist, Associated Press
"I had the pleasure of opening for our friends London Egg last Friday in NYC - of course, fantastic songs and sounds were witnessed and a grand time was had by all, but I wanted to mention to everyone how impressed I am by this band....
Their tightness, energy, and songwriting are something quite special - Egg and Robes, being brothers, have a bond you don't see too often - you can sense one knows what the other will do seconds before it happens. Their tunes, "In The Garden", "Turn On The Scene", and others are catchy as hell, and I find myself humming them frequently! Isn't that what it's all about - great songs? The Lads deliver, everytime - and they never compromise the music. Get out and see them!" - Michael Zuko
