REVIEWS
"Indie-pop perfection"- Drowned in Sound
"fledgling perfect pop"- Noisestar
" Sunny punk songs and precious lullabies that flash by in 60 seconds yet never leave your head." - The Windmill
"They sound like they've been around for ages but they are a mere babe in swaddling cloths. Songs of heartbreak and love and comic book heroes, dark of rhythm and hopeful of voice. Don't miss." - The Windmill
"London quartet Slowgun peddle sunkissed pop songs which deal with subjects such as heartbreak, love and comic book heroes" - Channel 4 Unsigned (on tunetribe)
"Slowgun are a great two-girl two-boy combo with roots as broad and diverse as Velvet Underground and Josef K, Sonic Youth and Fiery Furnaces. This set is a breakneck collection of 2-3 minute songs, awkwardly instant. Even their squally finale is wild rather than angry, with the reassuring lyric "I don't hate you". Slowgun have flown onto a superbly eccentric orbit all of their own. Keep that comet coming!" - RF Opposition T
When New Wave came out it was apparantly as fabricated as New Rave, so cool people like Richard Hell and Lydia Lunch invented No Wave to counter it - according to my book "The Idiot's Guide To No Wave". However! SLOWGUN have that No Wave vibe, but because they are literally a new band, does that mean they are New No Wave? Aaaarghhhh!!
RATING: SHEEPS BRAINS - ALFONZOS DEMO KITCHEN
( i'm confused ... is this review good or bad? i quite like sheep brains)
