Sounds Like: 'Dan Sheen is a (mere) 17 year old from Nottingham who is already showing some good potential. He has a musical foot in both the trippy rock and electronica camps. Despite Dan's best attempts to describe his own music you should really try it for yourself because I don't think even he really knows what he's got. There's controlled feedback of a guitar, drum machines, sequences a semi-sung, slightly ethereal/trippy backing and vocal line. The end result is a somewhat of a home-made sounding electro/ambient vibe, but he clearly already has a good ear and a sharp mind for structuring music.' - The Music ReviewEveryone Does It - Machine-driven, post-punk sounding stuff, which is pretty much just the ticket at the mo, in terms of market appeal. It's fuckin' great. 8/10 - The Living Atheist'What a great proposition, You Know It's Wrong Cus Everyone Does It' - Tom Robinson 6Music
'Some good stuff in there, definitely a nice respite at work! keep it up fella' - Alex (Shadowplay Fanzine)'You've got something really good going on here,keep going! im well impressed! much love-jagz :-)' Jagz Kooner (Produced - Primal Scream, Prodigy, Reverend and the Makers)Something fuzzy & urgent to get you out of bed this morning. For a 17 year old lad from the Midlands, Dan Sheen has a frighteningly brilliant grasp on how to go about writing & producing DIY electro-psychedelic anthems. “Everyone Does It†is an unholy juggernaut of a song, the sound of someone with a blowtorch in a squall of electric guitar feedback & hypercatchy vocal hooks. The lit fuse snakes and burns through sounds reminiscent of bands like The Jesus & Mary Chain and Spiritualized, but with a post-modern punk fuzz to keep it sounding interesting. Pick a scene of debauchery and “bang†- here’s your new soundtrack. If musical review ratings went up to 11, this would probably be a 12. - Smally (The Daydream Generation)
