REVIEWS:
“Hugely dark, romantic rock and roll”
BBCi
"Moves from vocal caress to catharsis with frightening ease"
Overplay
“No More Your Lover is a fantastic debut… the band play like their lives depended on it”
Infuzedzine
"This will appeal to a lot of you. It's like having the pages of a diary lovingly dribbled onto a CD. Perhaps Jeff Buckley would be a good comparison... or, when he plays the acoustic card, Dylan"
Salvo Magazine
"...Delivers terse and uncompromising performances, essentially looking at themes of desperation, loneliness and relationships in the modern context of dysfunctional life... you're enveloped by the unfolding drama, with the music artfully played and setting a suitably post millennial atmosphere... intense, affirming and ultimately engaging"
Ham & High

RIK SIKES (voice/guitar)
