'The Dark Shadows addresses political issues in the cleverest, celestial way. Take your problems to Dave for a harmonious solution or if you are truly desperate address them to you local MP.' - Out of the Bedroom review
'A lot of the music is gentle acoustic with biting political and social comment but the addition of the electric guitars are what really grabbed me in particular the almost Fall like composition of title track This is Not a Drill. Many have tried this transition later in their careers such as Neil Young and Bob Dylan however David has used this crossing across the folk styles as his starting position and can use this uniqueness to put his messages across to different audiences.' - gigreviewscotland
'Dave, as always, was bellowing and omnipresent and giving it the mad wookie strum. Wired to the moon, wooah ho ha heee haaah... wired to the mooon. Good call Dave.' - James from CentralScene
