Reviews
‘Terrific. A little bit Elbow, a little bit Pulp, a little bit the Blue Nile, a little bit The Who, even. I keep saying that there’s so many people out there doing interesting stuff. I wish we could play more of it.’ - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio One - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 1
A very special record I think you’ll agree - Vic Galloway, Radio 1
