White Collar Weapons

About Me


real editor best profile tools
How I made my profile:
. Some Quotes:
"Nigh-on impossible to pin down into one neat little generic box. Sweetly melodic, yet explode into bursts of noise with a ferocity that make Gallows look slack".
God is in the TV
"White Collar Weapons are fully loaded."
BBC Cambridgeshire
"You wont find many better unsigned acts anywhere."
Iceblah
"Like drinking champagne strained through Woody Guthrie’s vest, stroking Bob Dylan’s wispy little beard, making a Tim Buckley CD fight a Jeff Buckley CD (and trying to break up the fight with an early Radiohead 7-incher). Healthy, happy pleasures that anyone in their right mind wants to do."
Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear
"Lyrics. Genius."
Danny McNamara
"Strong as when we first heard it."
Record of the Day.com
(On featuring ‘Like Your Chances, Chum’, one of our very own compositions)
"A cover of a traditional and indeed classic folk song. The folky among you will recognise - even I did - but I particularly like this rendition. Makes you want to lie down and listen on a beanbag wrapped at his feet."
The lovely Gill Mills, Best of Myspace Podcast Episode 11
