Sounds Like: "withnail and i dancing to 'now thats what i call indie vol -32" on poppers' - Gaz O'Keefe, bootlegpoets
"I love this band man, they've got proper edge - energy and rawness" Zane Lowe, Radio 1
"...all the bold brassiness of punk but without the offensiveness, and all the catchy charisma of pop but without the sickening repetitiveness... a slick and authentic display of very British rock music." - Alistair White, Midlands Observer
"...catchy hooks, the cynical lyrics and the aggressive guitars are all present and correct, and if the band had been able to play on, we would certainly have had a riot on our hands judging by the screams of certain female audience members." - Mike Smith, BBC CWR
"...these Coventry Poets have really got something going on. A demo with a true spirit is a rare beast but these boys have it in aces... Don't stick these Poets in the corner." - John Earls, Planet Sound
"Like a very English Velvet Underground or acoustic raggle taggle indie pop, with quite a few A & R eagerly on the case right now." - Bugbear Bookings, Dublin Castle, Camden
"They're a fine scuzzed up mix of The Pistols, Libertines, Strokes and Ramones, all served up with a side order of classic Brittishness (top marks for calling a song 'Cheer The Fuck Up')...In a word...ace. In two words...really ace." - The Hearing Aid
Type of Label: None

another good review!

Coventry's own Bootleg Poets round off a great afternoon's entertainment with a charismatic set of indie pop that owes much to The Libertines in their pomp. The catchy hooks, the cynical lyric...
