Popup live like wolves on the outskirts of popular culture, protecting a territory it would not make sense for others to invade. They arrive, like foxes, without invitation at the gates of towns and cities, hoping to be fed without fuss. They sing at times as an owl will to his prey, at times as a panda will to her reluctant mate. They are the sound of birds migrating, of nature’s irregular beat. They move like man’s heart racing, as the blood drains to his feet.

"Lucy, What You Tyring To Say?" Awarded 'Single of the Year 2006' - Jim Gellatly, XFM

"...Savour the wistful, knowing pop that Popup specialise in. Just go see them." - The List

"They used to just be worth seeking out, now they could be essential" - Is This Music?

"Scottish prodigies Popup are making a huge impact in their homeland...they'll be one of the hottest bands of 2007" - NME

"Popup are one of the few remaining islands in a sea of monotony" - The Herald

"Popup are Scotland's biggest unsigned band, and if you only see one new Scottish act, make it them" - NME on T in the Park 07

"Popup seem to have that little bit of indefinable magic that helps to conjure up simply gorgeous songs that are completely evocative of where they come from" - CD Times

"Top 100 Scots of 2006" - The List

"piss-taking guitarist Nick Giudicini" - Drowned In Sound
