On our hols! Back soon with new Record!

About Me

formed one summer in Liverpool to write pop songs about rubbish jobs, daytime television and STD's. Since then we have released our debut single, toured the UK with The Wombats, been championed by Steve Lamacq (Radio1, Radio 6) and John Kennedy (XFM), and played a riverbound gig on the Mersey Ferry. That was super! Here are some nice things people have said about us:
"The most exciting band to come out of Liverpool in the last year."
- Gigwise.com
“As long as bands are willing to experiment in this way we'll all have a rosy future" – Artrocker (Single of the week 11/02/08)
"Brilliant new wave punk" - NME
"Enough musicianship and wit to excite even well-exercised lugholes. We predict goFASTER will goFAR" - The Fly
"Leading a charge of new bands that together are saying more about Liverpool in 2008 than a million botched Mathew Street festivals ever could" - High Voltage
"One of the best, spine-chillingly brilliant pop bands we've had the pleasure of hearing in ages" - Neu Magazine
The best guitar-stroke-pop-stroke-fun band possibly ever!" - Rocklouder.co.uk"Songs that need to be played to fans jumping around and losing shoes in a sweaty dive, because these are true party-starting anthems - Glasswerk.co.uk
"When I first heard 'You better watch out", I splegged all over myself..."
- Graeme from ARMS AT LAST
