"Y'know all this bollocks going on at the moment about these indie bands being 'straight talking' because they talk about putting out the bins in their songs? Well they should listen to these lot - snotty punks, a real English accent and instruments played brilliantly haphazardly!" Alex, Shadowplay zine
"The songs are short and snappy.. a feel good, raw punk with a pop friendly undertone to it." Lucia, Comfortcomes.com
"Whether by accident or design, Candy Panic Attack's CD even smells sweet! These 3 tracks of lo-fi riot grrrl punk rock resemble a grungier version of Helen Love, and mighty fine they are too. Fans of The Slits, Bikini Kill and the like, are sure to enjoy the short, sharp ditties by this tasty three piece. They also have the best logo ever" Sophia, Noisy zine
"riot grrrl love-heart crunchy sugar rush home-made very DIY lo-fi for fans of Huggy Bear and The Raincoats and Pussy Face and The Smears..." Sean, Organ
"Mixing punk, riot grrl & joyful ineptitude with fizzy pop tunes that go nicely with a cup of tea & a sherbet dip-dab." Us
(cheers to our ex-bandmates, Jess and Em, for their guitaring on "What's he got that I haven't?" which was on the CD being reviewed above)
