REVIEWS - Without This You Can Never Change

Feminist Review, April 2008

"Space March is intensely melodic pop... Craig Simmons utilizes synthesizers, guitars, strings, and electric pianos to create this upbeat music while his strong vocals wrap around the sounds to guide listeners into his dreamlike world... He sings songs that challenge listeners to question the potential of how much this vivacious music truly can change one’s life."

Read Junk, Dec 2007 - 4 Stars

"One of the greatest strengths in recreating the authentic synth pop sound is the use of programmed drums, synthesizers, guitars, and most of all, Craig Simmons’ voice, a perfect mix between the lead singer of the Go-Betweens and New Order."

Aiding & Abetting, Dec 2007

"Yeah, there are Erasure or even Abba-esque moments. And there are some serious kick-ass rock bits. Sometimes in the same song.... Fun and engaging. Simmons has a sense of melody and lyric that reminds me a bit of Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields, etc.)"

Elektrauma, July 2007

The first album review is online at elektrauma.de - follow the link below to read the full review. It’s been translated from German which accounts for the turn of phrase. It scored 6 out of 6.

"With regards to the title of this album you can say the following: once you have listened to this album you feel changed. If you are one of those people who thinks synthpop is dead, after having listened to this album all you can say is: synthpop has been revived successfully...."

REVIEWS - Debut Self-titled Album

Space March VOTED No.1 by music critic Ann Sterzinger in Chicago Reader & The Village Voice Best Of 2004 Critics’ Poll. Described as mixing "Magnetic Fields, Erasure, and a dollop of Momus."

"I could see a band like Space March really finding a large audience. This type of hook-laden, obsessively melodic pop would really fly well with indie fans...This is how pop music should sound." - Indieville

"Space March represents a divergence from the synth pop model, delivering a parallel blend of catchy songwriting and machine-aided construction while adding enough humanness...an engaging, elusive sound." - Splendid

"...an excellent achievement in electronic pop music." - Synthpop.NET

"Conjuring up They Might Be Giants and adding a little retro New Wave and spicy indie rock into the stew giving it mighty stirs with a huge spoon..." - Smother.Net

"In a pop scene rife with adolescent angst, ghetto rage, and naked lust, you got to admire any artist who dares to be as mature, intelligent, and quietly introspective as Craig Simmons (former half of the Australian synthpop duo Electrosquad) is on Space March. Rather than affecting a phony teenage sneer, Simmons confronts the creeping demons of age, loss, and regret with appropriately mellow reserve. ...And, next to the lyrics, that’s the best thing about Space March the musicianship. Too many electronic bands grow so infatuated with the technical aspect of their craft that their music has more in common with COBOL and C++ than rhythm and blues. Not so with Space March..." - 100% Unnatural

Hey Space March, hope you're having a great day! Say, do you believe in God? If so, do you think it comes with a tangible science we can hope to understand one day, or should it remain a mystical concept?

Hey!

As a friend of Killaflaw we'd like to give you the opportunity of purchasing our uniquely numbered, limited edition CD single 'Revolution' which also includes the much loved 'Holy Fuck' on the B side.

There are only 1000 copies in existence and further copies will be sold without these unique numbers, so here is your chance to own a piece of music history from the LIPA award winning band dubbed by Eddy dance/rock guru Temple-Morris "the missing link between Soundgarden and The Prodigy"

The record is of course also available to buy as MP3 download.

To get your copy go to the following link:

www.cdbaby.com/killaflaw

Thanks again for supporting Killaflaw and we really hope you enjoy.
Oh NO ITs POk !!!! [[[[neu shite songs]]]]
