What They Say:
"well crafted brooding indie guitar swing with piano trimmings that sounds not unlike something The National might come up with only with a melodic Northern Irish accent at the mic..."
David Roy, Irish News
"Pocket Promise's music is sparkly and instrument heavy at times, dreamy and moody all at once and really rather enjoyable to listen to... 'Waving at Strangers' comes highly recommended due to it's loveliness.'"
Limerick Event Guide
"Pocket Promise are one of the hardest working groups around"
Irish Daily Star
"Even at an early stage of development Pocket Promise's songs and musicianship stood out... They've carved out quite a name for themselves on the live scene.."
Donna Legge, Go! Belfast Magazine and BBC Radio
"'Waving at Strangers' is a five track strong EP which is an intriguing voyage through emotion and genre... full of melodic metaphors... introspective and elating."
Big List
"I got the cd and listened to it twice straight because I liked it so much!..."
Dan Hegarty 2FM
"I absolutely love the EP!..."

Hey, lads, come down to Clon to party for the next weekend! I'm leaving Ireland on the 9th and it requires a lot of drink and all sorts of social activities beforehand!
We'll definitely spread the word, we'll try to make an appearance for ye too, I've heard good things! But we have the Leaving Cert in 2 weeks so we might be a bit snowed under!
Hopefully some of our heads will show up though, good luck with the gig! If ye get the time to check out our tunes aswell, we'd be over the moon!
