Sounds Like
Reviewers have said we sound like this:


"..glossy, mental, ridiculous and oddly soothing. (4/5)"
(Big Cheese)

"Like early Yes albums being played at 78rpm by The Boomtown Rats, very cool"
(Brixton Windmill)

"Blasting out punk rock that gives your ears whiplash whilst indulging in gorgeous instrumental sequences that range from Duran Duran synth-cheese to Tool styled solo smuggery. "
(Blue Light District)

"..taking Guitar drenched alternative rock and giving it the explosive energy of The Blood Brothers... These guys can't sit still for one second, and when listening neither can you! Fusing the driving force of Dinosaur Jnr. with the sonic punch of Pavement...."
(Subba-Cultcha)

"An almost unfathomable fusion of Prince, The Bee Gees, Oscar Peterson and Motörhead"
(Wired)

"they sound like Sparks, Prince and the Cardiacs folded, torn apart then stuck together with gaffer tape (and also given heavier distortion pedals for Christmas...) "
(Black Sheep Bar, Croydon)

"As close to Cardiacs as possible without resorting to full on passport stealing and identity theft"
(Vanity Project)

"a mash up of Nation Of Ulysses or Make Up, Primus, NoMeansNo and the Dead Kennedys"
(Punknews)

"distil the essences of The Banana Splits, The Slits and the great, lost English thrashers English Dogs into a pot that's framed by the attitude of any one of a hundred inept late 70's New Wave also-rans"
(Logo Magazine)

"like a cross between Primus, The Presidents of The USA and a dodgy b-movie and to top it off the ending reminds me of the Muppet Show band... slightly irratic"
(Die Shellsuit, Die!)

Gamages Model Train Club





Apr 12 2009 6:15 PM




Well hello there

The much anticipated Gamages Model Train Club album is now wonderfully finished and on sale.

There's a beautifully designed digipack CD, featuring illustrations by Benjamin Harrison of each song, and full lyrics booklet.

You can also of course buy the MP3s from Amazon, iTunes and most other digital emporiums.

<<<<<< Please click on our profile picture here to find out more...

Kindest regards

"Gamages Model Train Club impart an energy and eloquent lyricism that is part devil-souled bluesman and part 19th century gentleman's club…"


- www.junkmedia.com, New York


"Evoking the rhythmical gnarliness of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Gamages' 'The Loss of Gamages Model Train Club' sounds like a cage battle between Belle and Sebastian and Arcade Fire held in Nick Cave's living room"


- Artrocker Magazine, London


"the Gamages Model Train Club album appearing at platform one could well be one of the albums of the year"
