« Very special indeed » What’s On in London What’s On in London - 4 out of 4

« Mixing shambolic indie-rock with dashes of doo-wop harmonies and girl-group backchat, they sound alternately like wide-eyed and legless dreamers, and impassioned, vainglorious self-believers » The Independent On Sunday


« Full of punk self-belief, angular guitars and most remarkably, a perfect pop sensibility » The Sun

Silvery:
London artrock four-piece who’s recent single ‘Two Halves Of The Same Boy’ from their 2nd album ‘Railway Architecture’ on Blow Up has been going down a storm on 6music:

« Genius twisted pop. A truly original pop masterpiece » ★ ★ ★ ★ BIG CHEESE
