Some nice things that nice people have said about us...
"...a rattling cacophony of pure pop and buzzsaw guitar grinds, somewhere between The Buzzcocks and a sketchpad version of The Zutons. “Telescope” is the bands version of spangled sixth form college punk rock, jacked up and jerked around by irreverent guitars and the almost mad cap vocals and harmonies, which shouldn’t work. But do. They like moustaches, I definitely like this record." manchestermusic.co.uk on our demo of Telescope
"So why do the Generalissimos such a good following? Easy, they're a great live band. They’re full of beans. With infectious enthusiasm and oodles of individual charisma, they seamlessly mesh a party bag of musical genres to create a whole that is indisputably greater than the sum of its parts."
Manchester Confidential on our gig at Fuel 7/3/2009
“Think of the best bits of The Pixes, Supergrass, Archie Bronson Outfit, then shaken in the pocket of Mr. Billy Childish and then you're almost there.”

“Tune digited hairy love-spud avalanche”
Group Hug, Manchester
"One of the world's finest bands"

It's a beautiful piece of 7" vinyl, but if you don't have a record player then there is a download code on the record for both songs and 2 B-sides... You lucky people you :o)
Apologies for being spammy, but just to let you know that myself and
the Pope proudly announce the release of my second album, Murder Music (featuring David Hoyle and Pianofingers),
out now on Cherryade Records.
"Prepare
yourself to be modestly outraged - McCabe is kicking against the
pricks, and declaring homosexual cliche's bankrupt" - Artrocker
"If you like punk, you'll love this. If you're queer and like punk,
you'll spunk your pants. Ste McCabe is authentic and brilliant." - Boy
