Sounds Like:
"I think they are truly one of the bands that stand out amongst the hundreds of Brit bands that I've checked into, signed or unsigned"
"The British Breakfast" www.wrir.org"Sharper by millions than the zillions of 'buzz band' cds that we use for target practice. Lets put it this way, if Onions had a tenth of the Mohair press n budget you'd be unable to avoid their grinning mugs"
www.unpeeled.co.uk"There aren't too many tougher acts to follow right here and now, in my humble opinion...there aren't that many of these bands around just at the minute and if it so happens - as seems reasonable likely - there soon will be, I very much doubt many will sound as good as Onions"
Manchestermusic.co.uk"Think Super Furry Animals but only if they were playing with firecrackers down their pants"
Manchester Evening News"Manchester three-piece Onions are definitely ones to watch, listen to, go and see, become enveloped in, champion and generally stalk"
Sandman Magazine"One of my favourite unsigned bands in the country.Damn fine lyricists. I tried to give them some advice once, sent them an email saying 'you're never gonna get anywhere with lyrics about beards.You need to write songs about how jobs are boring and isnt the weekend great etc'. These are the kinda lyrics that get you somewhere. Look at The Streets, Arctic Monkeys, Hard Fi. You're going nowhere Onions... Shut up all them bands. My goal in life is to make Arctic Monkeys bow down to the lyrical prowess of Onions"
Cloud Sounds radio"People will never tire of listening to their songs. I've subjected myself to them several times and they are as fresh as the first listen. If this bands reputation does not grow in the music world, I'll eat my onion"
www.soundsxp.com"This band are a very tasty prospect indeed"
The Fly"Out with my antics and in with the acts, a few of which really stood out were the spiky guitars and prickly harmonies of Onions which left the audience beaming, especially with their songs about beards and ice creams"
