A smattering of journalistic opinions...

1) "Fantastic" declared Richard and Gary on BBC's Bristol Uncovered about our EP.

2) "A collection of well-crafted, heart warming songs" is just one sentence (and not even the best) from a thoughtful Poirot, Le Fisc review by Live Music Scene.

3) "Distressed and bruised bitter sweet power pop of the highest calibre". Mark from Losing Today makes us blush by comparing us to Teenage Fanclub.

4) We get another comparison to the Coral, albeit at the risk of infuriating their fans, courtesy of the Bristol Evening Post.

5) "An immaculately formed song [...] that seems to have been been inexplicably omitted from 'Is This It?'" is how a review from Venue Magazine finishes.

6) Live Music Scene listen to Inland Observations and decide that we have "an extremely expressive and eloquent way of saying something universal".

7) "Le groupe a réussi son pari, il y a de quoi être conquis" ends a cross-Channel EP review from The Wall, adding to our Francophilia.

8) "This band's music is even cuter than the TV show but a lot cooler" continues our 'international' acclaim from the Reading Chronicle.


Elsewhere...

1) You can become a fan of Farthing Wood on Facebook. Or not. It's up to you, son.

2) You may also wish to check out Farthing Wood on Last.fm and see who else shares your suspect music taste. (We do, by the way)

3) You can look at Farthing Wood's 4music page thing. Just for fun I think. You can do nothing else.
