”Accapellian, Surf, Mariachi, Psych Post-Rock anyone? This is a special mish mash of styles that somehow more than holds itself together to produce an often quite brilliant album. Very good indeed...” Jumbo Records
"Liking this CD album by Gyppos. It seems to be the work of four chaps from the Sheffield region and is comprised of lo-fi indie pop, skewed bluegrass, quirky skiffle & schizoid folk-rock. There's a small bit of them that initially reminds me of old Chicago band 5ive Style but also (musically) Half Man Half Biscuit, fellow Steel City-ers Champion Kickboxer & Bristol's enigmatic Safetyword. Lots of curious guitar dueling, loose pattering drums & eccentric freestyling. It's all really intimate & damn entertaining but most importantly there's a gorgeous homely soul about them being apparent from the intermittent warm parping brass & down at heel vocals. They sound like a chilled bunch who'd I'd most certainly make the effort to catch live. Possibly fans of the likes of early Beta Band, Hood & I, Ludicrous could all find something to fall in love with on this album......'Bold Ambler' is CD only thru Flaming Oh." Norman Records
