"Heads in our hands" reviewed in swedish media;

"Angel, Ambassador och Great wall of china, är rent av lysande popmusik"
4 av 5 - Norrköpings Tidningar

"Norrköpingstrion The Modesty bjuder på en grym debutskiva. Receptet för gruppen är melodiös pop med en ändlös energi."
4 av 5 - Sundsvalls Tidning

"...låtar laddade med energi och raka refränger i The Clash-anda gör det nästintill omöjligt att stå still"
4 av 5 - Corren

”Great wall of China” är snygg, ”Angel” är ännu snyggare och ”Among us kids” är albumets mästerverk.
6 av 10 - Zero Music Magazine

"The Modesty lyckas med det som många andra band vill göra men inte kan."
3 av 5 - Groove

"Det är grabbigt, det är powerpop och det är inte så lite Clash."
3 av 5 - Nya Wermlands Tidning

"The Modesty har hittat en egen väg att gå"
3 av 5 - Muzic.se




"Ambassador" - Big up to Lambretta Club HK!
