************************************************************ **
"...with pop songs that have a bigger than average dose of intelligence and choruses that lodge in your brain (in a good way), the public at large could do far worse than to choose a band like artisan over the kt tunstall's or the now sadly awful turin brakes that the record industry seems so keen to foist upon them on a regular basis."
To Hell With...
"Isn't that absolutely gorgeous?.... beautiful!"
Claire Sturgess, XFM
"Can you believe that's unsigned? Can you? We're scratching our heads, how can it be?...."
Rob da Bank, Radio 1
"Revel in their gorgeous songwriting."
Spill Magazine
"I Hold My Breath, probably the main track to the next Zach Braff movie."
