Sounds Like:
Gigwise - "All in all, truly triumphant stuff, gigwise wouldn't want to sound a first rate arse-licker - but we've got our tongue too far up asbos bum to defend ourselves right now"
Stool Pigeon - "From the talking heads and pixies school of weird, but they have a unique edge which digs into our heels and toes the longer we remain"
Another Late Night - "Deliciously macabre, this is a band that needs to be
heard"
The Fly- "We warm to their slow and gutsy funkola and lines of crooked monotype from a wobbly-eyed front man. At high points the bassy tension routes us deep into their weird world and everything goes a funny shape".
Semi Colon Cancer - "A truly special band that manage to convey a brooding power and self assurence without so much as Clicking on a distortion pedal"
Platform Radio - "Nervy paranoid tales of modern vaudeville"
Northern Noise - "Their songs have character and a definite sound, combining stark parts that sit neatly on top of each other, with catchy bass lines to produce the simplest of musical layouts"
Hush Hush Magazine - "ASbos never once sound like they are merely exercising a style, instead inhabiting and coercing thier sound with an understated yet sure, touch"
Salvo Magazine - "Living up to their name and laying claim to one of merseysides most unique rock sounds, these boyos draw influence from a whole host of outsiders"
