Paste Magazine : Band of the Week - Land of Talk : "Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, is simply the most perfect debut of 2006 – a collection of shimmering, chord-rich songs that brighten and buzz"
Stereogum : Band To Watch - Land of Talk : "We hope you've all spent some time with Land Of Talk's seven-song EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, on our very short list for best debut record of the year"
The Sun Online : Canada Invades Brighton : "Fifteen Canadian bands made their way over The Pond and the highlight was undoubtedly Toronto-based electro trash outfit Holy F***"
Drowned in Sound : Holy Fuck @ The Great Escape UK : "...Holy Fuck ascend and nearly smash through the ceiling in terms of intensity, layering and volume. Truly one of the best live bands I've ever seen"
