About Me

************************************************************ ** Reviews ************************************************************ ** "On listening to this surprisingly powerful trio first thought is that this is as good, and in some cases better than anything around during the '79 Mod Revival. Power chords abound throughout. With a sound reminiscent of The Jam at their peak, other reference points being The Buzzcocks and The Chords, this power pop package is quite simply awesome full of power pop at its very best.” - Scootering Magazine UK ************************************************************ ** "This is a 9 track album with each track diverging through every mood and sound encompassing the then Mod revival, you'll hear shades of Dennis Greaves and Nine Below Zero in the Power popped “Hindsight”, the Jazzy coolness of Makin' Time in the superb “Please”, a hint of Weller in the Punchy Power of “New View” and my favourite track “November's Warning” a Paul Weller cum Joe Jackson acoustic driven number which is worth the price of this CD, alone! Absolutely stunning! These guys have captured the Mood, the Power, and the Pop that was the Mod Revival in one take! which to me is absolutely remarkable!Superb, Exhaustive, Entertaining, Power, Pop, Mod, what more do you want?" - www.Modculture.com UK ************************************************************ ** “Twelve tracks packed to the core with quick changes, stops, starts, clever lyrics and irresistible melodies that bridge the gap between British heros of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s with American faves like, well Cheap Trick” - Revolver USA ************************************************************ ** “Clever, choppy melodies and vocals that sound have the nervous energy of Joe Jackson. Non-stop action, quick changes and stops bubbling pop ignition. Very Highly Recommended” - Not Lame Recordings USA
