"Scuzztastic, sci-fi surf tunes led by a demon in a red dress. If the Reverend Horton Heat ever held a sermon in Sin City, this Sheffield quintet would be leading the hallelujahs."

"Not have I ever heard a band do such a refreshing job of combining Throwing Muses' off kilter genius with catchy modern day britpop. 'Who is Louise' is a frantic whirlwind of clap-a-long proportions that resurrects the ghosts of both Belly & The Smiths whilst having guitars that wanna shag the sky & vocals that leave you breathless. If you heard this on the radio you would SOOOO go & rush down the shop to buy it." Brian Dangerhorse @ Normans Records – Single of the Week
"Lovely, tense indie spaz pop from Screaming Mimi – a name I’ve been aware of for a while now, but haven’t been able to hear anything from. Think Long Blondes mixed with Pixies, and just sit back and wonder how good that sounds. Wonder no longer, for it is here. ‘Who is Louise’ is a quite marvelous piece of nouveau-pop. Listen to it. Immediately." Sam Metcalf @ Tasty Fanzine
"It's a great feeling when you pick up a CD knowing nothing about a band, put it on and hear a track that blows you away. As is the effect of Screaming Mimi's 'Who Is Louise?'. Two minutes and nine seconds of wonder leave you begging for more and wondering where the songs male protagonist is lurking. It sounds like the Pixies if they never had Frank Black singing and instead gone ahead with a sultry, confident, purring female lead." Scott Lewis @ Leeds Music Scene
"It's utterly infectious, drawing you in and treating your ears to a frenzy of guitar riffs, rhythmic drumming and enchanting vocals. The premature nature of the finale is enough to make one go back immediately for another listen. And with each one, it gets better and better. So be warned, once Screaming Mimi have got you, you'll never escape their clutch." Thisisfakediy.co.uk
"I’m not sure I know which I like more, the twisty haunting 60s spy theme-esq A-side Dorothy Millette which criminally stops just before 007 gets to shoot his load or the seductive Bumblebee with its straight-outa-the Moulin Rouge sleaze oozing Gallic sauciness with its whiff of Gauloise and Number 5. As this is hot on the heels of an equally corking debut 7" the forthcoming album is looking mighty tempting." SoundsXP.com

Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!

Thank you so much my friend - welcome to the camp !!!!
A common love of music - what more could we ask for - well, (and I'm assuming here that we haven't got our heads stuck in the sand or up our own backsides) apart from world peace, a solution to global warming and a bit more personal wealth that is !!!
