With echoes of Belly, Juliana Hatfield, the Breeders and a lot of other female-fronted 4AD bands, this is wonderfully tuneful, aggressive and textured indie-pop. As the title suggests, 'We Got Fire' showcases a group with bucketloads of energy and creative inspiration."

Like all great girl groups, they have the knack of combining cool sweet pop/rock vocals with hard rocking riffs. 3 minute gems like ‘Yes Sir’ and ‘We Got Fire’ have got the attention of the whole industry and as the girls hail from the sunny South East, they are looking forward to their first big gig in these parts on Friday, after impressing a packed Whelans in Dublin last week."...Munster Express..................................................... ............................................................ ....................................................'The Blonde Majority' were already on when I arrived and into they're set. 'The Chalets' were suggested to me as a comparison, but for me the oldest swinger on IU, 'Bangles' whose songs I performed myself yonks ago immediately popped into MY head! 'Veruca Salt' was another band that came to mind for me with that IN YOUR FACE style. However this band inspire excitement and admiration from all who experience them, including myself.Generally they came across as laid back and confident, very sexy, with a crisp, tuneful sound. With Karla on bass singing gorgeous harmonies and adding lovely riffs she can't be ignored. There were plenty of crunching chords and rock riffs from lead guitar too, which was played by the lead singer 'Aoife' with her charming and unforgettably magical voice!'We've got Fire', a ballsy number with lots of HEVVY riffs throughout and sweet harmony started the whole set which was absolutely irresistible. 'She's looking down', 'Old Feeling' which I personally favoured and 'Yes Sir' followed. This band has such an original and novel sound and are so addictive, I'll just have to go and do a review of them in the near future.They finished with 'Banging' which seemed to include quite a bit of banging on the drums! Lucy's young vibrant NRG and lovely backing vocals were at all times 'bang' on. Towards the end of this up-beat number there was a lovely contrast of a galloping beat and angelic vocals with a catchy chorus and a great build up to a thumping lively finish. What a great way to get the crowd warmed up!...Review written by: Angela Macari-O'Looney -- Whelans gig Feb '08
