Sounds Like: "From rags to Richmond - 8/10
Is singer Daniel's dream of rock glory leading him to a Mick Jagger-style pad in South West London?
Not sure if he'll quite get on to millionaire's row with this slice of sweet summer pop, but he may get darned close.
A tale of turning water into wine may not be the most original subject matter, but this has real class."
Review by Al Clay (Planet Sound, 02/07/07)
"The sort of alternative vibe to shift Sunderland into the 21st century...whether they like it or not."
"Upbeat riffs...intricate melodies"
Review by Katie McMillan (for BBC Wear)
Assembled from lots of comparisons:
A cross between Jarvis Cocker, Morrissey and Mick Jagger fronting a band made up of Belle and Sebastian, Futureheads, Maximo Park and Jam members playing a set of 1980's jangly pop songs.
