BLACK VELVET MAGAZINE 5/5 "Hailing from the Midlands, Skatch describe themselves as 'ultra-party power-pop' and they are not far from wrong. With infectious and incredibly catchy songs, Skatch fulfil anyone's desire for energetic party anthems. Skatch are all about the fun, and it shows in every single song on this album. With every one as catchy as the last it's impossible not to tap along. 'Forever On Replay' is a great example of one of these incredibly catchy, instantly likeable songs that would put a smile on anyone's face. 'Take Note (This Is How It Is Done)' probably sums up the feel of this album best and is one of the more notable songs. An intense mix of superb vocals and six different instruments combining together must be a difficult task but skatch do it almost effortlessly. Completely recommended for any pop-punk/ska fan, or anyone who likes music that makes them smile." BBC RADIO AIRPLAY - MARTIN WINCH
“A guarantee, a cast iron guarantee to put you in a jolly old mood and a smile on your face...”

"I took a listen and enjoyed it! Keep working hard and good things will happen. Best of luck to you!"
ROCK MIDGETS.COM 4/5
"Skatch are all about having a good time all the time. Given the evidence on display on these four chirpy efforts, it's fair to say that you could never imagine the Birmingham-based five-piece ever falling into the trap of wallowing in their own self pity and penning a depressing ditty about a long lost girlfriend. From the bouncing trombone and playful hand-claps of opening salvo 'We've Heard It Before', to the bubbly keys of 'Scarlett', even the most stone-hearted ska hater around will find it nigh on impossible not to find themselves nodding along, whether they want to or not. All signs point to Skatch continuing to go from strength to strength."
POWERPLAY MAGAZINE 7/10
"Ska-ed up to the maximum, Skatch are all about fun and frolics and their latest EP is the musical equivalent of a high school melodrama. Four chord riffery and ska like off-beats give good groundwork for songs that are pleasing on the ear. It would be a mistake to call this band immature, or even simple, just because the music they make stems from a genre that has been turned in to a laughing stock in recent years.
It is bands like Skatch that will help, in time, give the pop punk genre a more stable reputation and increase its character."
METAL HAMMER MAGAZINE 8/10
"This is big fat anthemic trombone-heavy pop-punk. Everythings here for ska/pop punk fans: horns and a cheeky-chappy vocal. 'Enjoy' is happily pumped through with shameless cheery energy, and whether it be off-beat rhythms or hammered bar chords, its all pretty damn great."
PUNKTASTIC.COM 4/5
"Skatch have progressed into an absolutely brilliant band. This EP is really, really good fun, really catchy, the CD is currently going round and round...
They really aren't afraid to have fun. There's certainly an element of cheese to their sound, but they do what they do extremely well. The vocals on each song are exceptional for the genre of music and each tracks merges a fun pop-punk sound with either a sprinkling of synth or a burst of a horn. It probably should sound messy but it's strangely cohesive. The best part is the band write huge singalong choruses too, meaning they're not far off having the complete package. If they can pull this off live, well, they could be big..."

Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", album mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...
