Ryan plays drums and percussion and talks too quickly
Grace plays keyboards, sings and pretends she can speak Spanish

PRESS
"Cutaways write bubbly, upbeat, infectious songs that are handmade for the radio and catchier than the common cold. If you're a sucker for indie pop you'll love Cutaways"
Rhythm & Booze 9/10"Cutaways have grade A indie-pop sensibility.......... Here we have a band capable of packing more creativity and sizzling excitement into a few minutes
than most acts fit into six-minute epics"
Hot Press Pick Of The Fortnight“Every song is wholly designed to propel the chorus, to chase the pulse and to extract a smile, recalling peppy acts like Cheap Trick and Weezer…the likes of 'New Golden Rules' and 'Race For Grace' are junior classics"
Stuart Bailie, BBC Radio“If you take the pop bits out of Pixies, Archers of Loaf and The Wedding Present you'll get an idea of what this four-piece are all about"
Brixton Windmill, London“Well-crafted and upbeat, ultra-catchy indie rock"
David Roy, Irish News"Bass is a powerful thing. Cutaways know this, and from their first note, the bass surges out of the speakers, straight into the faces of the first row, and drags everything along with it in its wake. Cutaways suffer from being easily lumped into the vacuous genre of 'power-pop', but there is so much more to their sound than that. Sure there's hints of Weezer, or Fountains Of Wayne, but there's always something else happening that lifts it out of the ordinary. The guitar playfully slashes away, friendly and violent at the same time, the drums are flamboyant and charismatic in the way Clem Burke's used to be in Blondie, and the keyboards pepper the songs with little melodic nuggets, while the vocal interplay between the three singers keeps everything interesting. Cutaways sound comfortingly familiar, but also strangely different." AU Magazine - Live Review“Just brilliant...the vitality of early Ash"
Joe Lindsay, BBC Radio"Cutaways make the finest, freshest indie pop and the b-sides on their recent single would grace a lot of other bands a-sides" BBC Radio Bristol Uncovered"Intriguing guitar motifs recalling Pavement, rugged rhythms , boy/girl vocals locked in a loving embrace, Cutaways fill their lyrics to the brim with naked emotion, their smudged pop-rock creating a sense of bruised beauty. Stirring stuff indeed"
