REVIEWS OF 'HOLIDAY' SINGLE
‘Holiday’ is a full on passionate song that crammed to the brim with energy, funk, groove and style, seriously get your dancing shoes at the ready and your blow up air guitar because ‘Holiday’ has been created for you to have the time of your lives, the song is so charming, it is full of catchy hooks and the explosive chorus will leave you lacking life once you finish going nuts to it.
Answers On Postcards are proof that the music industry is fucked
as they should be superstars playing all the major festivals across the country whilst your boring scene bands such as BrokeNCYDE, You Me At Six etc should be queuing down your local dole office.
5/5

Jangly indie pop with a nod to Jack Penate’s effervescent pop, indie n roll - takes a few interesting turns and coasts upon an inspired groove…

Answers On Postcards, a Staffordshire based, all male quintet, seem to be gaining marks on the 'elements needed for success' tick sheet; indeed, with a string of successful gigs and a Kerrang Radio session under their belts, this indie offering reads rather well.
Catchy guitar riffs and up-tempo melody...
Answers On Postcards have a very distinctive, decidedly British sound, something which is becoming a little rare in this very American age. Kudos.

REVIEWS OF 'SHE'S ALL MINE' & 'IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN'
Well these guys aren’t far away from making it big. Chiming guitars, Razorlight style, and a chorus with charm to burn; ’ Look at you, look at you, I wouldn’t change anything about you.’ The band vear dangerously close to ‘Before I Fall To Pieces’ at times, but they have enough petrol of their own to get themselves over the finishing line. Glorious.
Review by The Beat Surrender
ANSWERS on Postcards really stretch the boundaries of modern Indie music to offer something completely different to what you would expect from most Indie bands today. They still have the clangy guitars and mixed up tempo you will undoubtedly get from most modern bands but their music is a heavier take on old fashioned rock and roll music rather than a new, typical Indie sound.
In fact, at times, the singer’s voice bears an uncanny resemblance to the great Elvis Presley and there is still an underlying hint of pop to their style. This is not only both new and refreshing but what’s more, ‘She’s All Mine’ is a perfectly crafted, well written song.
Documenting the sheer joy of getting the woman you want, the chorus is both lively and poppy, making your foot tap uncontrollably. Perfectly mixing pop and rock, Answers on Postcards add the poppy elements of Take That to the guitar work of Razorlight and the Arctic Monkeys.
And if you noticed the resemblance to 50s rock and roll in ‘She’s All Mine,’ you will surely notice it in ‘It’s That Time Again’ as its upbeat, fast paced rocky sound reminds you of a frantic ballroom dance competition, whilst maintaining some traditional Indie roots. There is still a mix of rock and pop but adding the two creates a real, jaunty 50’s rock and roll song.
Just when you thought you had heard everything Indie music has to offer, Answers on Postcards come along and reinvent the genre - this is just what Indie needed!
Review by MYBRUMTV/Birmingham Independent
"Bright, breezy, uplifting and as commercial as hell this, once again, demonstrates Answers On Postcards' ability, eagerness and readiness to join the lucky few at the top of their game"
"She's All Mine and its 'AA' side, 'It's That Time Again' gives vent to Answers On Postcards' ebullient , trade-mark sound - at least these guys have something that identifies them from the hoards"
"Loads of jangly guitars behind the mature sounding vocals combined with their own inimitable catchy hooks should allow Answers On Postcards to make their mark in pop history"
Review by Peter J Brown aka toxic pete (www.toxicpete.co.uk)
Finding itself somewhere between Razorlight and The Cure, this is modern british guitar pop at it’s grandest, with a whiff of Britpop’s past and the raggedness of it’s future this is a slice of pure class…
Review by Subba-cultcha.com
"This is a song that could cause a dent in some movie soundtrack with its catchy chorus mesmerising a listener"
The second track ‘It’s That Time Again’ adds more of a bounce, but remains a feel good tune. These are two incredibly scrumptious songs.
Review by Room Thirteen
"Happy-go-lucky guitar riffs, as originally nailed by The Jam and then rehashed for the modern age by Babyshambles, permeate this group's tunes"
"Lively, melodic lead and choppy rhythm - like The Long Blondes by boys"
