Sounds Like

"One of the best parts of SXSW is stumbling upon a new, amazing band...The five-piece from Surrey, England, play eighties-tinged, sunny pop that hooks you on the first listen." TEEN VOGUE

 

"(One of the) 10 most promising Brit names hovering on the horizon...Reminiscent of the Buzzcocks at their most bustling" NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

 

"For bright melodies, adolescent heartache, and none of the usual stultifying self-seriousness, "Tape It" isn't to be missed." PITCHFORK MEDIA

 

"An infectious and breezy romp through pastures of uncomplicated new-wave pop… brilliant." NME

 

"Brilliant… brings to mind clever-era Pulp" INDEPENDENT

 

"...the brightest, sprightliest, most wide-eyed smilingly fantastic pop record you’ll hear this side of Yuletide."

DROWNED IN SOUND

 

"If there is one thing you do between meetings, lesson, lectures, or making cups of tea today, listen to this, and get ready to be hooked forever." THIS IS FAKE DIY

 

"Our new favourite band". CHANNEL 4

 

"Tape It features swathes of synth that can’t disguise its MOR brilliance, expect to hear it soundtracking televised teen trauma by 2007." NME

 

"Quite remarkable. This is only their second single which is frankly unbelievable as already they have a sound most bands take years to perfect. Watch out for these guys and gals, they'll take over the world pretty soon."

TO HELL WITH IT

 

"They’re the only band tonight I was singing along to and I’ve never heard them before!”

JIM GELLATY / XFM

 

"...they could be one of the most talked about bands in the UK over the next year. For their reach for the stars take on whimsical new wave Gigwise loves them and so should you!" GIGWISE

 

"Gobby, confrontational, powerful and sublimely hooky"

 SUBBA CULTURE

 

"This curious case study of soap opera obsession piano plinks along like the Cure on the happy pills at a C86 reunion before shifting gear into forlorn Idlewild soaring."

THE FLY

“If Lewis Carroll wrote a scene where Alice, after failing to catch the rabbit, drowned her sorrows in a pub made out of, say, marzipan and ribbons they would be the house band of choice” DISORDER

It’s very much the sound of a band that could be very massive indeed and by all accounts they still seem to be operating out of a lock up garage. Not for long one would hope”.

 MANCHESTER MUSIC

 

“Bum rushing the art pop scene with two tunes of naggingly catchy indie triumphalism. Little House Records are putting out this debut single – a semi moody slice of Pulp’s less angsty moment”.

THE FLY - 'ONES TO WATCH'

“Here’s a bunch with bags of promise”. HOOKER

“The wired, nervy alterna-pop we used to love so much from Idlewild (before they went country) given a much needed dose of vibrancy!” SUBBA CULTURE

“...if this music makes it to the radio it will undoubtedly be a massive hit” DOGMANET

Hey Winterkids!

I hope you come to Munich / Germany next time you're on tour!
A few friends and I would certainly come to your show then! ;-) And of course all the other 3000 people who saw you at the "Prima Leben und Stereo" - Festival in Freising (near Munich) ;-)

greetings from Munich,
