Sounds Like: "Melting together the holy trinity of freakbeat, British Invasion pop and gritty garage rock, Jensen And The Interceptors formed only a few months ago but already have their songwriting skills sorted. The propulsive, 'Hey Joe'-aping 'There's A Girl' has the garage-jangle and snotty vocals we all have come to love, the demo of 'Just To Cry' is pure primitive Thee Headcoatees-esque joy, whilst 'Sitting Side by Side' is one-part cheese-grating guitars and one-part 'bop sha woo wop' vocals. These Interceptors are surely the offspring of the Black Lips generation, and doing it just as well as the masters." SHINDIG! Magazine
