HERE IS SOME NICE PRESS ABOUT US!
"We need less boring,boring indie boys! Think we need an injection of snarling grrrl voices? Me too! That's why I'm bloody obsessed with snarling London rawk types Scanners whose singer Sarah is a shining bright star in its ascendancy. They're like all the songs Kim Gordon sings in Sonic Youth, but played by Motorhead at their early-'80s peak. And if that doesn't sound brilliant to you, perhaps it might be worth slicing off your ears and giving them to someone who deserves them, yeah?"
NME
"Scanners might well be providing us with Yeah Yeah Yeahs style thrashy kicks in the new year...dripping with highs and lows...alluring throughout"
Artrocker
"Racously sexy!"
Metro
"Like an anti-Magic Numbers - two boy, two girl outfit cut switchblade-like through the bon-homie. With punching bass lines and tribal drums they roar with gutteral fury. Their infectious tunes are both beautiful and dark as well as upbeat crystalline harmonies... brooding Mazzy Star-like epics... deathlessly sexy electronic pop..."
Drowned In Sound.com
"Stumbling on their set at Beauty Bar while looking for another band, Scanners was the kind of happy accident that makes SXSW such an awesome adventure. Fronted by a raucous female lead singer (Sarah) and a scorching female lead guitarist (Amina), they were a refreshingly feminine jolt of London pop in a festival of bands that can sometimes be dominated by the boys."
Spin.com
"Since the days of Joy Division and the like, nobody has really grabbed the Moog and run with it as well as these two gals and guys. Lead singer Sarah Daly is a little bit Siouxsie, a little bit Stefani and is a darn fine, pitch-perfect, vibrato-free rock-&-roll singer."
La Weekly
"Don't be surprised if Scanners pull off that rare UK-US flip reverse"
NME

Hi Sarah, Amina & of course the Boys, I saw you yesterday in the Gloria/Cologne and I enjoy your show. It was absolutely great and thanx for some funny pics....and Amina: You don't look ugly! Now your cd is on heavy rotation in my player! rock'n roll! with a big hug from Germany Pistol
Hello dear Scanners, thank you for the great show last monday in munich. I saw you for the first time and all i have to say is: GORGEOUS!!! (in Kate Moss voice). Lets be honest. With the most support bands it is like "Well... ok... they sound nice, but i would really like to see the main act now!" But with you, it was different! I really enjoyed your music and your performance. And i wished you would have played a little bit longer... Yes, i'm really glad you where the Support Band for Juliette Lewis. Because of this i found a awesome new band with really wonderful songs and you found a new fan!!!
A huuuuuuuge thanks to Sarah and Amina for signing the CD after the show! You where soooo lovely and charming! I wrote my email in your list. Please informe me when your new CD will be published. I really want to hear more from you.
Please enjoy your trip through Europe and have lots of fun at your shows!!! Many greetings, Christian
