BBC RADIO 1 STEVE LAMACQ ’IN NEW MUSIC WE TRUST’ ALBUM OF THE WEEK
BBC RADIO 1 HUW STEVENS ’INTRODUCING’ ALBUM OF THE WEEK
************************************************************ **
’EEE. This ere Orphan Boy are certainly full of Northern grit...the next big thing in a long line of urban poets...’
NME
************************************************************ **
’No song lets down, and it doesn’t take more than one listen to feel the coherence and rage balanced here. Shop Local is a dark, dark record…an intelligent yet unthinking tour de force devoted to every dirty corner of every marginalised life...a fucking top-drawer effort.’
THE SANDMAN
************************************************************ **
’What a killer debut from Power Pop Trio Orphan Boy’
8/10 SCOOTERING
************************************************************ **
’Orphan Boy are one of the best rock ‘n’ roll bands in Britain right now’
MANCHESTERMUSIC.CO.UK
************************************************************ **
’...takes the breath away. It’s powerful stuff. Hollow bass sounds and cymbal delicate percussion are a precursor to the choppy guitar craziness of bile-infested opener ‘Kick Junk’. Dark and dysfunctional, hollow and ice-cold, it motors along on a frenzied, freaky path, hinting rock but in reality balanced on a razor’s edge...Surely it is only a matter of time before this trio become Grimsby’s first-ever pop stars.’ ’
9 STARS WHISPERIN’ AND HOLLERIN’
************************************************************ **
’Hard to ignore, Orphan Boy are one of Manchester’s finest musical offerings and one to watch in 2008.’
MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
************************************************************ **
’You cannot quite avoid the sense that Orphan Boy really mean business, and ultimately that is what will cause the public to sit up and take notice.’

************************************************************ **
’They’re billed as Post punk / Progressive / Powerpop on their website and I will go along with that but add something else to the description. They’re fantastic.’
SOUNDSXP
************************************************************ **
’With the hype surrounding the band before their album has even reached shops, they are set for big things.’
