REVIEWS

Rocksound 8 out of 10 - 'genuine, genuinely affecting stuff - Mike Haydock, - August 2009

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

Losing Today review of God Says 'A thumping pop rocket that demands the hitting of the replay button' ' crystalline power chords and dashed with a fuzzing west coast glow' an.. ' irresistibly razor sharp anthem ' - read the full review on this page

“Dreamy Indie pop, with moments of Guided By Voices catchiness and The LA’s classicalism…” SubbaCultcha reviews God Says

Losing Today review of God Says 'A thumping pop rocket that demands the hitting of the replay button' ' crystalline power chords and dashed with a fuzzing west coast glow' an.. ' irresistibly razor sharp anthem '

NoClarity.co.uk review of Hot Air "radio songs that really will provide a soundtrack to your summer

mp3hugger review of Hot Air "Spiralling guitars, neat melodic vocals and pounding rhythms come together to create a burst of exhilarating noise... Escape Act have initiated their shimmering assault on the masses

Hot Press review of Hot Air "The upbeat and catchy melodies are engaging. This ep will stay in your head for days, but the tracks are so likeable that you won’t mind at all.” Meg Duffy

AU review of Hot Air "...melodies you'll be humming by the second chorus".

Losing Today review of Hot Air "Escape Act meld contagious power chord sensibilities with a deliciously contagious song craft that belies an unsurpassable flair for carving a honey honed hook or three."

ABOUT ESCAPE ACT

thanks for visiting us at myspace! We released our first EP - 'Hot Air' in summer 2007. since then we've been gigging and rehearsing and generally being creative with our time. Our debut album 'Loosely based on Fiction' was released in December 2008 to much critical acclaim. Recently we've been working on new recordings with producer Andy Miller at Chem19 ans Gargleblast Studios, Glasgow.

A single 'God Says' is available on digital and limited 7" vinyl, and our album 'Loosely Based On Fiction' is now available to download or buy on CD!

before Escape Act various members exploits included memorable recordings and support slots with groups such as The Breeders, White Stripes, Snow Patrol, Gomez, and Stephen Malkmus.

God Says is officially now one of my top 100 songs of all time.

Just brings a huge smile to my face and a feel good factor missing from so many songs.

If you're going out stick it on repeat play. By the 2nd time through i'm hyper and ready for anything.

Cheers for the music so far and hopefully a lot more soon.

All the best.
