Sounds Like

"Strange Idols sound like rackety John Peel favourites from 1983" TONY NAYLOR, THE GUARDIAN GUIDE

"Take a bit of Stereolab, mix with a dab of Saint Etienne and a hint of The Primitives and Darling Buds and you have an idea of where this is coming from. Sweet."MUSICWEEK

“A band to watch out for, infectious pop-hooks coupled with melodies that would make Franz Ferdinand mess their hair up in disbelief at." ARTROCKER

"...there’s a distinct sassiness here, in the vein of early Long Blondes or Belle & Sebastian. What the radio ought call a great little record." PLAYLOUDER

"Like the Organ covering Camera Obscura whilst high on sugar. Yes, it’s that good."POWPOWPOW.COM

"....won’t fail to get you bopping down the street along to the jangly guitars and brassy trumpets. Lovely!" New Noise.Net on She’s Gonna Let You Down Again

..."A dance classic. Fantastic stuff." HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE LOVED on ’it’s no fun’

..."curious combination of C86ish sub-swagger with the force of its Postcard forebears and an occasional sprinkling of Talking Headsy martial funk. It’s thrillingly contemporary and blossomingly conscious stuff." PLAYLOUDER

"A band who could do something pretty special, pretty soon." DROWNED IN SOUND

"Indie pop like it was supposed to be – fizzy songwriting, jangling guitars, belting tunes. Sounding like Sophie Ellis Bextor ... with a healthy dose of Altered Images in the mix." HYPEBOT

"...They have quite a ridiculous amount of charm.....it wont be long before Strange Idols have jangled through the chink in your amour and into your affections."DROWNED IN SOUND

"...making pop music with electric guitars and quite possibly a drum machine. It’s sweet, C86 era indie-pop... "NOTHING BUT GREEN LIGHTS

This is excellent pop with plenty of influences from the likes of New Order and Postcard records shining through! A band to investigate further I feel. INDIE MP3 KEEPING C-86 ALIVE

There’s something about this band. Their shimmering stage presence and complete confidence is underlined by a plethora of reassuring yet searching tunes. WHISPERIN & HOLLERIN’

’Its No Fun’ conjures up images of summery bike rides, Jean Luc Godard movies and warm fuzzy jumpers...’ARTROCKER
