The Rainer Maria comparisons continue to be entirely appropriate. “First Down” touches on Tin Kitchen’s brand of off-kilter emo/indie rock while “Catch The Spirit” lays back a bit in a more tempered fashion much like Minton’s solo material. No matter the approach, this is a beautiful start for the band. - soundaslanguage.com
This second-wave emo trio has put together a tidy little four-song project that calls to mind all the bands I dug in early college...a savory mix of fist-pumping with closed-eyed sway that has me hankering for my backpack, flannel, wallet chain, and Airwalks. - dryvetymeonlyne.com
One of those new uploads is the Football, etc. demo which everyone seems to be currently going crazy over. And rightly they should be! All the comments I read about it always suggest Rainer Maria comparisons, which do ring true in places (particularly the track “catch the spirit”), though I see it as a more poppy Jejune with a little PJ Harvey on the vocals. - Writing in Basic UK
If you are into miserable, melodic emo styled music then Football, etc ought to be a favourite of yours right now. I suspect that the forthcoming LP will blow many of us away. Can't wait. - Collective Zine UK
