"the Brownies could be Xerox Girls' attitudinal, imperiously cool nieces and nephews. Brilliantly out of step with current modish indie trends, full of heart-in-mouth moments and a hatred so finely tuned it's almost sexy, Means To An End is a handstand, a cartwheel and a kick in the nuts and it demands your immediate surrender." - THE GUARDIAN SINGLE OF THE WEEK
This is a huge scoop for us and definitely a gig not to be missed!!
