BBC MANCHESTER DJ NATALIE EVE WILLIAMS –
"I can hear sounds of Puressence and Joy Division coming through in their songs. The thing I liked is that I didn’t know what to expect from the intro [...] and I wanted to carry on listening to find out [...] I really like them, it’s good to hear local accents in singers and these tunes are very radio friendly"
BBC MANCHESTER INTRODUCING's MICK COOPER -
"More musically tight than a band of their experience have any right to be"
