NME: "Three-pronged indie-pop masterminds. Sounds like Graham Coxon armed with fresh socks and power-tools"
John Kennedy, Xfm: "Catchy and abrasive, it pulses with energy and hooks. The songs get under your skin, immediate yet with enough depth that after the umpteenth play you're still trying to unravel the lyrics." (Demo of the Month in Spill Magazine)
Artrocker Magazine: "The musical equivalent of falling off a cliff, they are sharp, abrasive and uncomfortable; but by fuck have they got some magnificent songs – both fractured and beautiful."
Drowned In Sound: "A dark, mid-tempo thriller. 'Sean' sounds a little like Frank Turner fronting The Strokes on 'Reptilia': triumphant and outspoken. 8/10"
The Stool Pigeon: "Akin to watching a full-scale riot break loose. They’re rambunctious, discordant and utterly addictive viewing"
Teletext: "Scratchy, feverish energy and hyperactive Bloc Party vocals for art-disco chaos."
God Is In The TV: "Atmospheric. Moody. Sounds like a classic band in the making."
soundsxp.com: "Utterly dynamic and mesmerising"
REPEAT Fanzine: "Controlled feedback, nasty chords and yet – Christ on a bike, a tune! Popular Workshop are the kind of deranged, musically minded psychopaths we love to see releasing records and offending self-righteous muso twats. Brilliant stuff."
