FLY REVIEW
London, Macbeth
‘Fronted by the impossibly beautiful Rebekah Raa, this London foursome make for a striking live proposition as they slink around the stage dishing out reverb-heavy, scratchy riff-fueled indie pop. ‘Five Metres Apart’ and ‘Better As A Girl’ are crowd pleasing highlights from a storming performance packed to bursting with compelling melodies and killer attitude. The incredibly sultry Stricken City will go far…’
Squawked and folded like Kate bush on a Dub trip...

I should point out, that if you don’t get one of these messages in the future it doesn’t mean I’ve stopped playing Stricken City, it’s just that I’m currently feeling quite industrious so I’ve got around to posting this message, but there’s every chance in the future that I wont – I am quite a lazy man you see.
