REVIEWS -


'Officially one of the best UK indie pop bands around.' - Rough Trade


‘Lovely four piece indie pop band, definitely worth checking out before they get signed up to some indie label.’ - Beep Magazine


‘This could easily have been released on a major thanks to some super female vocals, instrumentation and catchyness. Very recommended!’ - Jumbo Records


'A female fronted four-piece embodying everything that was good about female fronted bands in the early 80s, think Rough Trade at its inception' - Whiskas (Forward Russia)


'Just Handshakes (We're British) appear to have it all: a great name (kudos for those brackets), some fantastic pop songs (think a less angular Sky Larkin) and a lovely approach to packaging their CDs - it pained me to untie the bow it came wrapped in.' - Vibrations Magazine


'Packed with just crisp choruses and sweetly decorated lyrics, Just Handshakes (We’re British) should get to doing some of that, flying off the ‘unsigned’ shelf and into venues near you soon.' - This Is Fake DIY


'This is UK indie pop at it’s best.' - Rough Trade


'Somewhere between Young Marble Giants, Vampire Weekend & fellow West Yorkshire scamps Sky Larkin. A truly lovely tune. Just clean, timeless, sensitive indie pop with no frills, just pure & natural!' - Norman Records
