Sounds Like: Video by Andy for "What the Echelons Think" off "Thirty with a wink"

Reagan Youth cover in Paris

Some nice stuff people have said

A promoter called Sam from Sheffield said "A fantastic mix of Hardcore, post punk and old-school emo, like Cap'n Jazz, Minutemen and other such mint bands. Probably one of the best in the UK right now, if you ask me..."

This cool french site "VisualMusic" said this, sorry it's badly translated.."What Price, Wonderland? Such is the question. The response, this are these three native guys of Stratford Upon Avon in the Warwickshire that the prisoners. One compares them among others to groups Cap'n Jazz, Minutemen and Assfactor 4. For the influences: the hardcore of the 80' s especially the scene of DC, the emo of the environment of the 90' s and by the post-punk and the indie of the 80's. Voucher, what! "

Some old dude at a show no one came to "Seriously, I really liked you guys, you reminded me of Rites of Spring mixed in with Big Boys or something"

Some shop had a sticker on one our records saying "If Polaris liked Hardcore Punk"

That crazy hippy at Kafe Kult in Munich said "I definately thought you guys knew your Prog and Kraut rock" we don't!

Pure Pain Sugar records (one of our labels) said "First full lenght by this 3-piece from England after few 7", they play a noisy emo punk that reminds old english band like Bob Tilton and Polaris mixed some Moss Icon / old DC Revolution Summer saviours , really original and definitely not your average emo band ..."

A crazy old guy who gave Joe a bud of good weed said "HEY! HEY! its the singer from the small faces" a lot..

This Techno producer from Nottingham said "really interesting, never heard punk so minimal and groovy" recently

Graeme the legend Kingmob said about the tour split songs "you guys have deinately changed, at first I didn't get it, but then I thought it was awesome, its like a mix of Minutemen and noisey british indie" or something to that effect.

Thomas our lovely tour diver said one of our songs was an "ear warm(sic)" which is german for it gets stuck in your head. We'll be on Popworld next!
