Reviews of "TO THE CITY, FROM THE SEA":
"A stunning debut album. It presents Beat The Radar as strident indie rockers with an ear for a big chorus and an eye for romantic detail". THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
"None of their delighful live rawness is sacrificed on their debut album - 'Miracles' drips with rolling melody that wouldn't look out of place in the Stone Roses songbook, while Telephone Conversation' is reminiscent of early Cribs pepped up a few notches - making 'To The City, From The Sea' a punchy, promising debut". THE FLY
"To The City From The Sea is a sturdy ship of songs that should see them sail to much wider success. It is as fine a slice of good old-fashioned indie as you'll hear, and in a scene packed with angular synths and 80s influences, that makes a refreshing change."BBC.co.uk
"The steady but exciting beats and the low ebb of the travelling bass, line up magically with the thrust of the guitar and those understated but perfectly melodious vocals. I’m glad Beat The Radar snook over city’s borders – Manchester now has one of the most exciting prospects in the UK, blasting through the speakers of its music scene."MANCHESTERMUSIC.co.uk
"Other than the too-mannered jangles of the recent C86 revivalists, not many have tackled traditional indie lately.These Mancs do a superb job, imbuing their escapist reveries with passion, yet keeping bluster at bay thanks to Jonny Swift's mix of biting wit and the optimistic desire in his vocals.The music knows when best to go on the attack or focus wholly on the melodies. Trad, but forward-thinking too."CHANNEL 4 TELETEXT
"Brilliant songs, all more addictive than midget gems. If you like guitar pop, you’ll love To The City From The Sea."THEMUSICCRITIC.com
"To The City, From The Sea is a record of simple pleasures, three minute pop songs, and grand sing-along choruses. There are many bands struggling to make it into the big time with this type of music, but the reason Beat The Radar have gotten this far is because they do it better than anyone else."BEARDEDMAGAZINE.CO.UK
