"...the cover bears the legend 'Best played at excessive volumes to masses of people.' Such is the quality of songs and recording I'd recommend you do just that."
--Is This Music? magazine
"A great British new wave band who happen to come from Scotland...it's the mix of jaggy guitars and almost slurred vocals that take Blitzhoney away from all the other multitude of bands hoping to have the same success as Franz Ferdinand ...Blitzhoney are another band you should watch out for." --Daily Record
"There's definitely something a bit different about [the] sound - that whole Strummer vocal delivery but with an almost 80s musical thing going on behind it. Intriguing. I think Dandy is my favourite, because it's the most louche sounding."
--Dominik Diamond
"This set of gents really rip up a stage with their stomping mix of powerful tunes. Amazing show. Blitzhoney must be heard and followed."
--Edinburgh-Music.com
"A band who are confident in their own material, sprung from a great tradition of British song-writing. Frontman Larry's singing style is that kind of perfect drawl inherited from Shane MacGowan but with the sure ability to carry a tune without the aid of a bucket. This band has potential in spades."
--Live Music Direct
