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

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

ABOUT ESCAPE ACT

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.
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.
