"...this band are surely destined for great things as well. A very young, unique and original duo who write soulful piano led indie pop which has led to them building a huge grassroots following and packing out venues on the fringes of the West End and in the home counties. Listen to "Tree Falls Down" on their My Space page where the delicate voice of Rav blends melody over the intricate rhythms provided by Neeraj. The band are even better live where they may well surprise with their set!" - Barfly Review
"Great guys, great sound" - Swiss Concrete (Oxford Promoter)
"The New "new romantic" movement is a loose collection of a few young UK bands who have gradually over the last 18 months built themselves up based mainly in the Bloomsbury venues (as in Romantic Bloomsbury set poets - and the New Romantics of the early 80s) based all over London at the new FLY venue next to the British Museum but also on Borderline - Metro and of course ULU. Bands like...TALE OF TWO HALVES should be signed before the end of the year...[they] will sign to majors though they have an independent spirit." - RSW Concerts (London-based promoter, working alongside the Barfly group)

"Roll up, roll up ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to band which are truly worth knowing- Tale of Two Halves. ‘Who the hell are they?’ I hear you asking yourselves, but in case you did not already have the pleasure of managing to see this band live, then I will have to try my best to put into words the pure talent of this indie pop band.
The two brothers from Bishops Stortford formed the band just over a year ago and soon began seducing the likes of Cambridge, London, Harlow, Bishops Stortford and surrounding areas with their infectious sound. ’Another indie pop band? We’ve heard it all before…’ But that is where you are wrong, my dear friends. This band isn’t just another group of teenage boys gathering together to produce bad lyrics and shitty, samey melodies, oh no, these guys have something else. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that I love about them, whether it be the truly angelic voice and piano melodies produced by Ravi Morzaria or the accompanying professional sounds from Neeraj Morzaria on the drums. The sound is just so pure and incomparable to any other; the closest I can think of is maybe a cross between Jamie Cullum and old Maroon 5.
Having never been to ‘The Fly’ in Oxford Street, London before, I was a bit sceptical of the quality of bands playing there but I was so wrong. Throughout the night, due to the recent smoking band across England, smokers were regularly leaving in the middle of a band’s set to sneak a quick fag outside. This was clearly an excuse to get away from the repetitive sounds of some of the bands performing. As soon as the Tale of Two Halves stepped on stage, cigarettes were stubbed out and the room seemed to fill up and I soon had to stand on my tiptoes to see over the countless heads in front of me!...
This band is certainly not just another indie pop band, trust me. All those other bands out there better watch out because I have a feeling we are going to be hearing many more tales from these two halves! " Herts and Essex E-Zine
