Praise for third single Another Day:
“ I do like that!” STEVE LAMACQ, BBC 6
“I really really liked it... It’s ace” DAVE GORMAN’S BLOG (COMEDIAN/ABSOLUTE RADIO DJ)
“effortlessly melodic and insatiably moreish… lo-fi, powerpop and post-punk with a massive pop heart beating at the centre.” SOUNDS XP
Praise for second single Glum:
“evokes the precise and archly artistic pop of 10CC” UNPEELED
“draws comparisons to Welsh wizards Super Furry Animals.” A MUSICAL PRIORITY
“Had The Kinks begun as a Merseybeat band it's easy to imagine their psychedelic mid-period could have produced tracks like 'Glum'” SOUNDS XP
Praise for debut single Predator:
‘a non-stop, melodic, powerpop rush....superb” SOUNDS XP
‘a voice tailored by superior beings… brilliant… a pop classic’ UNPEELED
‘Undertones aura with merest whiff of Nirvana, crumbs of Costello and a few milligrams of Monkees’ MUDKISS
