Apple Daily (2010-05) :

紅 Cult：皇后大道中　櫥窗裏爆 Band

都是香港本土地下樂隊，以往多在又黑又細又煙霧瀰漫的地方表演，很少在陽光下生事，更遑論在小朋友面前 Rock n' Roll。 Good Fellas四子全是香港人， 2008年由 Egg、 Angus、 Po Kei和 Jim組成，曾漂洋到澳門演出，主打英倫 Disco Post Punk風格。今日讓標榜精英出沒的中環社區突然變得激進起來，叫聲不絕，自評說：「今次是不錯的表演，讓更多人認識我們，買衫途中也可聽聽。」


Bitetone (2010-05) :

將音樂幻化成流行時尚頻律的Good Fellas

Good Fellas雖然成軍短短兩年，但早前多場音樂會來看人氣相當不俗，他們能帶動氣氛的張力，往往能現場氣氛推至沸點。四月份Good Fellas更於 澳門為Peaches音樂會擔任嘉賓，令在場許多外國觀眾對於他們另眼相看。而Good Fellas於藝穗會舉行的【You’d Better Look FIT】的Tee Shirt發佈會，更開宗名義將音樂融入流行時尚的範疇，將修身、Biker等英式龐克元素充分 與音樂互通，拉闊音樂與時裝互通的可能性。

這次Good Fellas帶來的全新單曲《Trigger》，向英倫急激Disco Post Punk底蘊全力進攻，火力十足，務求令現場觀眾帶來更深印象。此外，Good Fellas透露本年希望推出三張各走不同風格的EP，各走不同類 型的音樂取向，將大家對Goof Fellas的感覺重新改觀。


Underground 91 Review (2010-01) :

"If you are not dancing, nor head-banging, nor foot tapping with these Good Fellas, that is YOUR PROBLEM, not theirs, they are just THAT good!"

* by Marvin - In Love And Pain!


Time Out HK Magazine (2010-01) :

(on coming plans :)

Good Fellas look set to continue along the road they travelled in 2009, with infectious grooves, high-energy delivery and the constant will to party. They want to play festivals and are looking for novel experiences such as playing a “guerrilla gig in the middle of Causeway Bay,” guitarist Po Kei tells me. These fellas are also looking to gig north of the border.

Clockenflap Review (2009-11) :

"HK indie music fans were out in force on Sat to see the most ambitious show of 2009 so far with local rising stars Good Fellas and Chochukmo, fan favourites False Alarm and the awesomely talented UK band Los Campesinos."

"Good Fellas, 1 of HK's promising young bands playing a set of Britpop-influenced songs."

* by Raymond Kelly


Clockenflap Review (2009-11) :

"Jags/Chords/Ruts from Golden Age of Punk"

"The most enjoyable rocking romp, punctuated by bellowed expletives, Pete Townsend split leaps, slashing, insistent and melodic guitar interplay, overlapped vocals and a playfully roguish but powerful performance band."

* by Nick the bookman


Time Out HK Magazine (2009-09) :

"of course we are genius!!"

* by Po Kei, responding to the Three-chord-genius labelling

"Po Kei, Egg, and Jim play melodic tunes driven by raw, circular riffs, and lifted by a harmonic combination of Po Kei's lively high-pitched voice and Egg's vibrating and mysterious tones. They are upbeat, catchy, and energetic"

* by Mark Tjhung

"Pop and Beer - have some fun"

* by Jim


BC magazine (009-06) :

"I haven't seen the movie (Good Fellas) yet!"

* by Po Kei

"Three-chord-genius is a good description, we don't like to play many chords in one song!"

* by Jim


HK Independent Music Blog (2009-05) :

"Don't bring your gf to a Good Fellas show, she will fall in love with us."

* by Po Kei


Time Out HK Magazine (2009-05) :

"Saw the Good Fellas on Saturday night, I've never seen a band improve so fast!!!"

"different from the traditional lead plus backing singer combination, Good Fellas got duel lead singers, and the mod-influenced musos are wrting strong punchy songs that they deliver with a rare dose of stage chemistry"

"Egg has a quieter charisma that complements Po Kei's gregarious stage persona."

"Egg command over the audience is backed up with rock-solid bass riffs and a piercing voice that soar over the mix"

* by John Sakei


Time Out HK Magazine (2009-02) :

"HK has long had its dedicated rock consumers, but Po Kei, Egg and many others are now part of a growing pool of rockers who are exploring new opportunities to them up, get creative and strut their stuff."

* by John Sakei


Time Out HK Magazine (2009-01) :

"....... impressed with supporting act the Good Fellas, a new rock trio outfit fronted by charismatic Po Kei from F.T.T., and searing vocalist Egg from The Train"

* by John Sakei


Underground 71 Review (2008-11) :

"Comprised of former members of established HK bans the three-piece certainly has potential to be more than the sum of its parts"
