"One of Sweden's best kept secrets are coming back with their second release which follows their debut EP, Perfection. Our initial reaction is that the group is much stronger now. /../ No Conversation is a great tune, which actually sounds very reminiscent of one of the better UK groups of the 90's, The Clique. /../ Beatfever Boogaloo is a fuzz-laden update on what could have easily been a lost studio creation between Steve Marriott and Brian Auger. That's no small compliment, but completely deserved in this case. /../ Friends, keep your eyes and ears on this band!"
Brian Poust, www.uppers.org
"The big stars of the night were The Moving Sounds from Stockholm. With hand clapping and the right poses, they really made Pipeline swing. During the song The Sky the whole dance floor looked like spastic Mick Jagger imitations."
Review in Swedish newspaper Dagbladet, Sundsvall
"when the organ/guitar attack starts, the crowd breaks out into unrestrained dancing. An exciting set of garage, soul and rnr. With a feeling not seen in years they skilfully mix own songs with new interpretations of non-destroyed covers. A triumph!"

"The five headed band from Stockholm seems to be an absolute must to see"

"this ep is great with a distinctive american hammond fuelled fuzzed up garage-pop sound. All 4 tracks are winners. /../ buy this record and we will do our best to bring them over to these shores for a show in 2002."

"This EP, the first recorded effort by Swedish beat combo The Moving Sounds, features four finely crafted snapshots of mod groove, centred around the feisty organ pyrotechnics of Fredrik Forsman. /../ their undeniable musical ability and songwriting talent shows a lot of promise."
Jesper Kern, www.uppers.org
"Dressed up in sharp suits these 5 young lads bash out some groovy organ drenched Mod Freakbeat, which will make your hips swing!"
