Hot Press - "Loosely Based On Fiction is indie rock in excelsis." 4 out of 5.
AU Magazine - "a 24-carat treasure trove of indie-pop gold" 8 out of 10.
Hot Press reviewed God Says in their 13th July 08 issue...
"'God Says' opens with a great meaty pounding guitar riff, before a measured pause for some Jesus & Mary Chain-lite vocals. After that, it's a case of lather, rinse and repeat, no bad thing in this case, serving to reaffirm the listener's faith in simple, sub-three-minute guitar pop. Top marks." by Stephen Errity.
‘”God Says” is a 2.5 minute powerhouse of a record … as infectious as an STD and as much fun as getting it…Top Class.’ BoxSetGo
“God Says plays a bit the Pixies, fronted by Mark Kozelek…if God spoke like this, more people would listen. In a word, Heavenly.” David Roy, Irish News
"...a blistering burst of Undertones punk guitar and Morrisseyesque vocal that'll have you jumping round the room like a kangeroo on a pogo stick." The Devil Has the Best Tuna
