Reviews:
"New single from Thee Uncomfortables in a natty mix of Horrors/Munsters style spook rock on the a-side, and David Devant harmony music hall doo wop on the flipside. There’s a certain vaudevillian campness gumming the styles together, making for some refreshing hooky pop with more thought and substance than most.
I’ve not seen them live, but I’ve heard they bring a certain wildness and the occassional sea shanty to the party which sounds all the more awesome."
- Dave (Artrocker)
"There is a lot to like about Thee Uncomfortables, they seem to have fallen through a time warp and found themselves in a strange parallel universe mixing surf rock guitars, doo wop and a hybrid of stylish skiffle and ska.
‘Where did I Sleep Last Night?’ reminds me a bit of The Kords if they were produced by Lee Hazelwood; in modern terms it is The Horrors during their debut album Strange House mixed with some of the more enlightened moments from The Rumble Strips. Don’t be alarmed by that second comparison, the track is fun, a nod to the past but the essence is not lost in nostalgia. The lyrics paint a paranoid picture, “Time and money / You can’t have both” fitting for a country deep in Recession.
The B-Side ‘Don’t Be Mad With Me, Spike’ contains melodies to cherish. The harmonies are similar to that of The Housemartins during their unlikely commercial pomp. Thee Uncomfortables reveal themselves to be in touch with the past where pop sensibilities were delivered with deft aplomb."

"(The new Uncomfortables EP) is cracking stuff. 'Levi's Genes' is a groovy slice of archly ironic beatnik bop that sways along very much in the style of, well, doomy jazz. Rarely has a label more accurately reflected its product. 'Daemon' is a fetching tale of terraced neurosis and 'Django Ray' is a soulful stomp that only requires a horn section to properly mark it out as a work of some frantic latino genius, in the style of the only ever faintly recalled Blue Rondo á La Turk, what were pretty hot in their day, I can tell you. Great label design on the CD too : The Uncomfortables just bought themselves some new furniture ..."
- Jon Gordon (TASTY Fanzine)
"Dark surf-pop fuelled by organ, guitar and great vocals, like the soundtrack to The Mighty Boosh or a softer Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Thee Uncomfortables tunes swirl darkly; they’re slightly wobbly and off kilter but always very melodic and somehow they are clever enough to be able to leave you with a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. The organ on ‘Where Did I Sleep Last Night’ is atmospheric and theatrical, like Eighties Matchbox... it has a Goth/Psychobilly edge and the tune is so catchy and energetic it calls you back over and over. The B side is just as good with gently plucked electric guitar and vocal harmonies ‘Don’t Be Mad With Me, Spike’ feels very Doo-Wop and the melody is instantly likeable."

"Daemon is a surprisingly delicate depiction of love between two lost souls. Levi's Genes would fit nicely onto the next Nick Cave album. It's dark, sinister and raw. The perfect soundtrack for a Dickensian villain, perhaps.
Cult of Django Ray is a mini-opus that has all the right elements to be an indie album classic – close harmonies; simple, memorable riffs; repetition; singalong lyrics. Swirling Hammond organs give the track a mysterious undertone, and the intelligent arrangement of the track means it improves with repeated listening.
If you're in the mood for something a little bit offbeat, The Uncomfortables are certainly worth checking out."
- Chris Moffatt (TASTY Fanzine)
"Soulful bluesy indie that creates a creepy, sexy atmosphere of the Nick Cave ilk, but with a bit more bite and a bit less bark. Really nice."

"The Uncomfortables have a literary take on love, life, and the human nature, all phrased with an acerbic accent. Listen again for a taste of British Sea Power, and the lyrical strength..."
- Liam Pennington (High Voltage)
"Frontman Richard Lomax is a madman. As he sings his drunken, manic, sea-shanty style songs, his eyeballs roll into the back of his head, his face distorts into scowls and frowns and he wails unexpectedly, becoming more than just a mouth-piece for the songs but at one with the despair the song depicts. The Uncomfortables are compelling, screwed up and brilliant." - Melissa Davey (Drum Media)
"Part-surf, part-cow-punk... What's not to like? Demo of the month."
- Math Priest (Rhythm Magazine)
"...influenced by an array of artists from Bowie to Kinks to Zutons. These fellas from Priest Town offer a fresh perspective. These boys really do have something to give and are definitely a band to look out for. Their tracks are awesome with the juice turned on."
- Shane King (Beat Magazine)
"De-da-de-da-dee-dead fucking good!"
- Ed Monk (Hed Magazine)
"...the Uncomfortables are terrific. They play a visceral half-hour of thrash-pop, with oodles of organ and charisma."
- Jamie Smith (the Music Magazine)
