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

your bassist is eloquent at best... arthur and beatrice jealously pour over a list of handshakes dates that read like a distant lover's diary. how could they rebound from our brief but oh so special encounter like that? surely we're the only support band for them!? but oh no, success and jealousy go hand in hand, and the handshake must ruffle such pretentiously plumed feathers...

yeah. well, have your fun on the 26th, we dont care anyway... humph.

(come back soon!)
