FOREST FM BREAKTHOUGH ARTIST OF THE MONTH GIG REVIEW BY ALAN DOREY
THE MUSICAL BUS

"Peachy Jane brought their brand of rock - an amalgam of perhaps Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac and any number of guitar-driven outfits - to life in the second half and despite some of lead-singer Vicky's vocals being lost in the guitar-mix, it was clear they wanted to put on a good show. Kicking off with one of their best numbers, Dragon Dreams, the rhythm section showed themselves to be a tight unit - and lyricist Beca's strident guitar soared across the driving beat. A couple of new songs were dropped into the set - sadly whilst the structure and interest was there, more practice was needed - but that will come. Bizarrely, a distinctly average cover of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon cropped up, but the situation was soon remedied with storming versions of Harmony - and a song with real soul, Soho. By now, Peachy Jane had gelled and earlier diversions forgotten.They added an encore, an accomplished take on the Neil Young number. Keep On Rocking In The Free World. Covers are a difficult animal, but this one was tamed and provided an upbeat end to a fine night out."

We have been featured on BBC Radio Solents and BBC Southern Counties Radio on "South Live" on 9th December 2007. The track they featured was "Oh Can it Be" which was showcased in their weekly demo panel.

XPOSURE @ RUBYZ SUNDAY 3RD MAY 2009 REVIEW BY TAMLYN HEAD www.unsignedchart.com "Bournemouth based unisex rock band PEACHY JANE graced us with their presence on the live stage. I always like a hard rock band with female vocalists, as it introduces a new element to hard rock and, although I felt Peachy Jane's vocals weren't quite strong enough to stand out against the music, it produced an eerie effect, somewhat reminiscent of Siouxie & The Banshees. Although ultimately a hard rock band, Peachy Jane's sound also includes slight reggae undertones, immediately and sub-consciously putting the audience at ease and making them feel laid back and ready to enjoy the music."

"Live at Active" review by Tim Heywood - HopeFM "I like music that takes me by my lapels and grabs my attention. The EP Live At Active from Peachy Jane does just that. Dragon Dreams is a great opener, shakes out a stupor and makes its mark. The opening riffs of Harmony, bearing echoes as it does of The Hour Glass and The Allman Brothers, takes you by storm and soon has you tapping your foot along to the nostalgic vocals. Soho opens with a wide and low dirty riff, whilst still having a feel of swing to it. Heart totally contrasts the rest of the EP, with guitar work wanting you to float away down a river somewhere. The backbeat, almost reggae feel to I Know switches back and forth with a raunchy and enjoyable chorus. Over all this EP entertains and enlivens, with upbeat vocals and harmonious guitar works."
