Influences: *****REVIEWS*****REVIEWS*****REVIEWS*****REVIEWS*****Border Mail March 2007 / March 2007 / 3.5 Stars …The opener, Do, is a jangly slice of radio rock with tenden-cies straight out of the 1960s and a style not unlike former Oz pop-rockers Ratcat. And there’s a little bit of Jet’s catchiness rolling around the next track, From Just Looking At You. The piano-led Oh Darling is sure to be a live fave, while the bluesy Woke Up This Morning is really the highlight of the set…

Time Off Magazine / March 2007 …they seem the real deal. So, if you like Jet, we suggest you change your allegiance right now. You know how their contemporaries Dallas Crane and The Exploders manage to get it right without being trite? Yes, The Sticks do that too. Simple, catchy harmonies and nice little guitar licks, without the egos and false sense of actually being good…

Fashion Journal / March 2007 …Fashionable, sexy and unbelievably talented… Their self-titled debut is almost as good as their live, pop-rock infused, get-you-up-and-dancing gigs.

Drum Media / February 2007 …the big drum rolls of this EP’s opening track suggest their adolescent CD collections contained the Hoodoo Gurus Greatest Hits. This is no bad thing. The Sticks go all right…

Rave Magazine / February 2007 …The Sticks, ‘sif you cool cats didn’t already know, are a Melbourne trio hellbent on dipping their catchy guitar songs into some sort of timetravel wormhole, so when they pull them back through, they’re smothered in thick, syrupy 1960s sound. It’s great for dancing, excellent for singing along…

Beat Magazine / January 2007 / 4 Stars …Merging 60's pop with modern shakin'-all-over r.o.c.k, the trio create the type of tunes to brighten any mood and have the most poser-ish of the cool kids off the wall and dancing…

Mediasearch / April 2007 ...The Sticks are a Melbourne three-piece band who formed in 2004 and it's my introduction to their music. This debut EP has been released independently and I can tell from their Myspace website that they've quickly gathered momentum through their ferocious stage performances and growing fan base...
