Sounds Like: Underground 91 Review (2010-01) :
"If you are not dancing, nor head-banging, nor foot tapping with these Good Fellas, that is YOUR PROBLEM, not theirs, they are just THAT good!"
* by Marvin - In Love And Pain!

Clockenflap Review (2009-11) :
"HK indie music fans were out in force on Sat to see the most ambitious show of 2009 so far with local rising stars Good Fellas and Chochukmo, fan favourites False Alarm and the awesomely talented UK band Los Campesinos."
"Good Fellas, 1 of HK's promising young bands playing a set of Britpop-influenced songs."
* by Raymond Kelly

Clockenflap Review (2009-11) :
"Jags/Chords/Ruts from Golden Age of Punk"
"The most enjoyable rocking romp, punctuated by bellowed expletives, Pete Townsend split leaps, slashing, insistent and melodic guitar interplay, overlapped vocals and a playfully roguish but powerful performance band."
* by Nick the bookman

Time Out HK Magazine (2009-09) :
"of course we are genius!!"
* by Po Kei, responding to the Three-chord-genius labelling
"Po Kei, Egg, and Jim play melodic tunes driven by raw, circular riffs, and lifted by a harmonic combination of Po Kei's lively high-pitched voice and Egg's vibrating and mysterious tones. They are upbeat, catchy, and energetic"
* by Mark Tjhung
"Pop and Beer - have some fun"
* by Jim

BC magazine (009-06) :
"I haven't seen the movie (Good Fellas) yet!"
* by Po Kei
"Three-chord-genius is a good description, we don't like to play many chords in one song!"
* by Jim

HK Independent Music Blog (2009-05) :
"Don't bring your gf to a Good Fellas show, she will fall in love with us."
* by Po Kei

Time Out HK Magazine (2009-05) :
"Saw the Good Fellas on Saturday night, I've never seen a band improve so fast!!!"
"different from the traditional lead plus backing singer combination, Good Fellas got duel lead singers, and the mod-influenced musos are wrting strong punchy songs that they deliver with a rare dose of stage chemistry"
"Egg has a quieter charisma that complements Po Kei's gregarious stage persona."
"Egg command over the audience is backed up with rock-solid bass riffs and a piercing voice that soar over the mix"
* by John Sakei

Time Out HK Magazine (2009-02) :
"HK has long had its dedicated rock consumers, but Po Kei, Egg and many others are now part of a growing pool of rockers who are exploring new opportunities to them up, get creative and strut their stuff."
* by John Sakei

Time Out HK Magazine (2009-01) :
"....... impressed with supporting act the Good Fellas, a new rock trio outfit fronted by charismatic Po Kei from F.T.T., and searing vocalist Egg from The Train"
* by John Sakei

Underground 71 Review (2008-11) :
"Comprised of former members of established HK bans the three-piece certainly has potential to be more than the sum of its parts"
