Review quotes
The Green Circles have more hooks than a piranhas' mouth.
Shindig (UK)
A smashing selection of melody conscious pop rockers, torched by potent vocals, choppy guitar licks, thumping organ drills, wicked drum beats and loping bass lines.
Beverly Paterson Twist and Shake (USA)
If there was a band out there that could break the barrier between 60..s & 80..s Mods, these guys sure fit the bill as their sounds would please both sets.
Buster - Modculture.com

Green Circles take no prisoners
Kevin Matthews - Fufkin (USA)

If you're a connoisseur of 60s Britpop, don't waste your money buying re-releases of old stuff, just buy this album. And if your not, theres this band from Adelaide called the Green Circles and theyve got a great album
Smashed -(Australia)

Shut your eyes and imagine heaven
