Sounds Like: "Endearing English roustabouts equally influenced by Ian Dury, London buses and cafeterias which smell like the inside of ancient handbags. These guys write catchy, hooky, nicely nicely indie music. Yes they do." -GREASY LIPS CLUB NIGHT
"The new likely lads..."-NME
"A little bit naughty, and very pleasing. Unfortunately nothing like my wife...".
- PLAY MUSIC
"Delicious vocals that swagger around like they own the place" - KARMADOWNLOAD
"Breakfast In Bed are a breezy South London four-piece with a ruffian, indie art-pop English style. 'Just Like The Weather' is an insightful, light anthem about the mind of a fickle lady. Catchy hooks, crisp guitar riffs, a bridge, and subsequent breaks which culminate in a pounding rhythm guitar line which will make your head nod and give you an all day long smile. The band take the best of Britpop, learning from the cream of 2006's crop, and mix this with some edge and depth in sentiment in 'The Girl Standing Next To Me'. It's the darkest track, with an element of desperation, but this is its innate charm. They'd pack out any venue where the floor could hold up from the audience's energy, which would surely feed from the stomping sounds of Breakfast In Bed." - THIS IS FAKE DIY
"Clearly influenced by post-punk performers Ian Dury & Elvis Costello as well as hip hop, lead vocalist Toby Donovan admits its an unusual mishmash, but certainly one which works judging by their Dirty South performance" - PAUL GREEN, DIRTY SOUTH REVIEW W/ ANDY ROURKE
