NME Magazine review
... a pulsing, nads-kicker of a tune liberally laced with an Enemy style shrug and a snarl that makes Reverend And The Makers’ Jon McClure seem like the politest boy in the playground.
The Sun Newspaper (Single Of the Week) review
..The Stoke band
have big ambitions,
and on the strength of this they might just
have the talent to
back it up.
Manchester Music review
... it’s the sound of a band trying to break the mould of todays banjo sounding Fender guitar advocates. Rousing stuff indeed from a band that quite rightly can count The Enemy as their peers.
Take The Red Pill review
...Silver is a big sound, maybe big enough one day to be played to packed stadiums. The Alones have that feel about them. Too big for the small stages they’re playing on these days although they are getting more recognition through bigger support slots.
Gigwise review
...A raucous, infectious, indie lament to life that sparkles with a youthful energy that invokes Oasis in their early pomp. The guitars crackle and pound without pretension and the vocals evoke Richard Ashcroft with a slight Stoke accent.
London ICA with The Twang
...They played only five tracks but this was enough to give us a flavour of what they can do and to leave us wanting to hear more.
Glasswerk Live review
...if their glorious presence continues to gain such acclaim, it wont be long until they’re gracing the covers of many a glossy mag.
Stoke Music Scene review
...They list U2, Oasis and The Verve among their influences but to compare them to such people wouldn’t do them any justice as The Alones are far more developed, distinctive and original than any of the aforementioned have achieved in a combined forty something years.
Huddersfield Daily Examiner review
...As incisive and scuttling as The Editors – and that’s praise enough.
Losingtoday.com
...Sauntering single that captures the uplifting thrust of the Brit-pop age and polishes it off with a rising mod styled vocal swagger, provided courtesy of Stuart Whiston.
