Sounds Like: "If The Clash had been born in The Emerald Isle... " - Backonthetracks.com --------------------------------------------"...nearer the real classic kinda vibe that the Pogues emitted, they have that same attitude both in the mood and the subject matter... excellent, addictive and some great fiddle & whistle that shows Neck in a class of their own. And a deadly live act too!"
- World power or ruin, USA ------------------------------------------------------------
----"Combining Celtic lyricism with raging hard rock in a bid for what Thin Lizzy would have sounded like had it ever really exploited its roots. Very cool stuff."
--- High Bias, USA ----------------------------------------"… Like the soundtrack to an imaginary ‘potato western’… Neck are a London-based band, but whose heart certainly remains in Dublin and are well acquainted with the place of alcohol in contemporary life...extraordinary!" - Roaring Jack Archives, AUS ------------------------------------------------"Defiant flutes and punk’d up reels – real ones, real reels – Irish folk-punks, real ones!" - Organart, UK -------------------------------------------------------"Anot
her dose of manic psycho-ceilÃdh from the London-Irish heirs to the Pogues' legacy. …not for the fainthearted, this is incendiary, belligerent stuff and doesn't pull any punches..."
- Hot Press, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------------
-"…If you ever head-bang until you pop a couple of veins
& dance like Michael Flatley after one too many red bulls!… mad craic!" - Irish Post, UK ------------------------------------"...an inspiring set that can be compared to The Pogues firing on all cylinders! I can't think of a better way to cap off St. Patrick's Day!" - ChartAttack.com: live review of SXSW ------------------------------------------------------------
"Fans of Folk Punk a la Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys will be loving this, and it kicks the shite out of some of the other pale acts attempting a similar thing." - Punk News ---------------------------------------------------------"A riot from start to finish…They’re brash, they’re loud, they like a drink..." - Irish World, UK ----------------------------------------------------------
