"Army / Intuition"
7" Vinyl - FHV0101 - £3
CD - FHCD0103 - £2
"Both tracks are shining examples of the long lost art
of rich and enthralling post-punk singles, leaps and bounds beyond anything
highly stylized revivalists of late have produced."
High Voltage
"chopped chords in a pleasant cacophony of Bunnymen and
Wire stylised flurries...A single that is something altogether different
and overwhelmingly contagious. "
manchestermusic.co.uk
"Sharp but oblique...like R.E.M.'s Murmur"
Artrocker
"Have No Past" ep - £4
"Distinctly individual and ..very,very real. Bursting with
well crafted, unusual but strangely catchy hooks... LoneLady's guitar-playing
is in itself enough to leave most dedicated string-slingers feeling distinctly
impotent...a voice that is tuneful, expressive and powerful...superb instrumentation,
there's more power here than a band ten times the size"
Record of the week -manchestermusic.co.uk
Hi Ho Bastard/Fear No More - £2
"Hi Ho Bastard combines the songwriting suss of PJ Harvey with the angular machine rhythms of Wire while the brooding ''Fear No More'' is one of the most powerful songs written by anyone from this city, a rival to the shamanic spirit of Joy Division''
Billy Hell- Flux Magazine
"The sound of prime Kim Gordon...Hi Ho Bastard is a jarring
4 minutes of sky reaching breathy vocals and abrasive guitars that connects deep inside"
Everett True - Plan B Magazine
"Odd. The one your mother warned you about. A lo-fi classic
that'd give Scout Niblett pause"

LoneLady relies on agression, space and that which agogs.Remote, the place to which I embark. On the lectern, a hi-fi exalts, watch it sink into the mud. Now asphasia smogs over all its fanatical screen, leathery as a Reichy-grip.LoneLady lives in Manchester, a magical space made up of nerves and tissues and Unruly lists, in mania of I stamp my foot, and stamp at medieval manuscripts.
First gig was 05. For a year Lonelady gigged alone with a drum machine. First gig outside Manchester was at SXSW in Austin, Texas. In 06 the skies Delivered a real drummer-human - OID: ribbons of POW flame from his sticks. 07 Delivered China Tom, Ace of economy: live now we are three. Hear our pop-spikes.
