Sounds Like: 'lovely, witty guitar pop... exactly what's missing from British pop music nowadays (reminiscent of Edwyn Collins and Orange Juice)'
- Cactus Killer Radio
'a slo-fi post-Tramway burn of insight, retrospection and perhaps a little
latent Pastelism. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised by the quality though, given WMD Paul Towler's connection with the Haywains.'
- In Love With These Times
'simple guitar pop songs that float nicely in and out of alt-country territory. I've complained before about the lack of UK bands dabbling in this genre, so it's always nice to find some willing to give it a shot'
- Another Form of Relief
'songs of pure country-glazed jangle and heart felt pining. Orange Juice meets The Byrds.'
- Closet Trekkie
'a twisted take on guitar-pop, mixing jangly guitars with a hybrid of alt-country, dark brooding lyrics and no-frills charm - their roots are in 'C86' era indie-pop having previously founded 80's twee-pop veterans The Haywains'
- Moles Bands
'Hank Williams saved my life is melodic, catchy country feel pop. Does it work? Well yes it does. We love this jangly tune, it is far too catchy for its own good. Play it in the car and you will find yourself grinning and singing along. Brilliant!'
- Bristol Rock
'a melodious, hook drenched indie leaning pop group... more than just a gig - an event! Cracking stuff!'
