«Never have walls of fuzz and noise been so beautiful!» NRK P3

«This unit stirs up a shoegaze (late '80s/early '90s alterna-grunge) cocktail of sonic moxie. The title "Sleeping Heart," from the Simon Says No! 2009 debut project Ahoi de Angst, is best served with the volume up.» The Huffington Post

«Destined to emerge as one of the leading newcomers of 2009.» TV2, nettavisen

«This is a definitely a band to watch in 2009.» Rock Insider

«This is bold and quite brilliant and in many ways somewhat reassuring.» Mp3 Hugger

«This band appears ready for the next big stage!» Ryans Smashing Life

«...these guys are ferocious, loud, and energetic, yet they still manage to keep their music raw and interesting.» Filter Magazine

«...it's both familiar and new, it pushes buttons and it gives you that feeling that you had the first time you disobeyed your parents.» Exitfare

«...I find it all rather uplifting stuff, a bit like walking along a hill ridge in a strong wind - makes you want to take flight» RHC Blog

«That large, booming rock noise you hear coming from Norway is very likely Simon Says No!» Clicky Clicky Music Blog

Record Label: Spoon Train Audio
