What 'They' say about The Mighty Stef & The Sins Of Sainte Catherine.
'Idiosyncratic Punk Rock Sea-Shanties' THE SUNDAY TIMES
'Channelling the ghost of Johhny Cash Through the Devil-Boned-Blues Of Jack White, The Mighty Stef is Dublin's finest unsung hero' NME
At Times The Mighty One even flirts with genius. His bluesey Tom Waits endebted rock n roll is pretty much as elemental as it gets, Stefs resping voice rings out like a deep south death-row prisoner that isnt going down without a fight.NME'
One part country, One part Noise, The Mighty Stef lands somewhere in between Nick Cave and Tom Waits, a touch more on the upbeat side than either though' WWW.DROP-D.IE
'Whisper The Mighty Stef's name in certain quarters and you'll hear him proclaimed as something of a genius, a pivotal figure within Dublin's psycho rock scene, hes been threatening something special for some time, and praise be, The Sins Of Sainte Catherine is a fine representation of his considerable talent. 'HOTPRESS MAGAZINE
This charismatic Dublin troubadour's bolshy blend of garage, rock, blues and good ol' broken hearted drunken laments will put fire in your belly.THE STAR NEWSPAPER
There is a maturity to stefs songwriting that echoes Nick Cave, but he manages to maintain an individualistic streak that gets better as the album winds down. The Themes of his songs are more realistic than optimistic, there are sparse moments when hope filters through in the disguise of tender harmonies. Do yourself a favour and add this album to your collection.TOTALLY DUBLIN MAGAZINE
With the sleazy swagger and sauce of a whole crew of sailors, the Mighty Stef is actually just one man. UK MORNING STAR
