YOUR NAME IN MY SKIN REVIEWS
“This Melbourne band has quickly built a reputation by blowing off stage many of the acts they’re supporting. This debut EP (partly produced by Gotye) is striking stuff. While they serve up brooding rock (Fall For You) and stoner rock (Only I Know You), the money shot is the haunting, hypnotic Porch Dweller”. 3.5 stars, Herald Sun
“…the Melbourne five-piece blend ridiculously catchy rockers (‘In The Water’) with stirring, slow-paced balladry (‘Porch Dweller’)”. 9/10, Tsunami Magazine
“Moody, dynamic, and layered, the recording offers a sonically thrilling insight into the minds of these five young artists”. MP3.com.au
“Check this out before their name is not just on your skin, but on the tip of everyone’s tongue”. TheDwarf.com.au
"A mixture of conventionalism and innovation is what Armen Firman do best on Your Name in My Skin". ObscureSound.com
"The EP is moody and a little self-indulgent in moments but hey, sometimes that’s precisely what people want out of their music". Rave Magazine
“Brilliant”. Edge Radio Recommended Release. Edge Radio, Tasmania
Soundscape Feature Release. Triple R, Melbourne

PORCH DWELLER REVIEWS
"Further proof that Armen Firman might just be one of Melbourne's best unsung bands". Beat Magazine
"Whilst it reaches a glorious pinnacle at its conclusion, with James Saunders really hitting his straps vocally, it’s the gentle hum of the organ, the sparseness of the guitar, the overall sensation of restraint that reveals Armen Firman’s greatest strength". Wireless Bollinger.com
"The song is a sombre and thoughtful creeper... achingly beautiful". iTunes
"A fantastic new track from the young Melbourne band". The Dwarf.com.au
"It's a promising glimpse, with 'Porch Dweller' gaining instant attention without resorting to cheap loud noises to do so". Tsunami Magazine
