Reviews -POPrepublic
"You have to get excited about this one...a killer bunch of tracks from their
musical world & its a great way to check out some great discoveries, indie hits
& of course great music"5/5 POPpoints.
The Dwarf
"An ascending and speedily delivered riff is an impressive opener which almost
immediately turns into a better than average pub rock song; a fashion the rest
of the album follows.
The audio quality of the album is by far the best aspect of the package. The
sound is clean, clear and yet it maintains a raw, edgy and passion fuelled
quality; one that many bands would benefit from".
