What People have Said about The Talks.."Another act you really owe it to yourself to know sooner than later are THE TALKS. A reggae/ska/indie band from Hull that are a whole lot better than that sounds. About as far away from the Ordinary Boys opportunistic take on 80’s Ska as you could get, this is genuine, edgy and refreshing – doesn’t sound like anyone else whilst not sounding unfamiliar – a very, very good sign indeed." ICA magazine, Scotland (Feb 2007)"An infectious and playful mix of ska reggae and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, which is all evident on the upbeat ska driven "Teachers" or the laid-back, but upbeat, reggae stylings of the swaggering "Kids In Town"." Ten Foot City Magazine (Dec 2006)"Wicked Band" Neville Staple ex The Specials (Dec 2006)"The Sound of The Talks is very distinctive, Combining the raw, smashing power of punk with grinding rhythms of reggae and the energy of ska plus a good dose of pop sensibilities. but don't be fooled into thinking of the insipid Ordinary Boys and the like: We are talking about the real deal" Sandman Magazine (March 2007)"I like it [Teachers] because most Hull bands, myself included, are a little bit too modest and this band sound a little bit angry and cheeky." Paul Heaton, ex Beautiful South (Feb 2007)
