"Deadbeat will appeal to punk fans as much as it will to rudeboys. It'll be enjoyed by swingers as much as it will by mainstream pop kids lucky enough to hear it."

"There are some blinding tracks on this album ... they're definitely a band to watch."

"... the hip-shaking cool of swing, the attitude of punk and the skanking dance-abillity of ska to form what can only be described as pure-concentrated-awesome in plastic disc form."

"Whatever they do, whether it be jiving big-band style swing numbers of sax-led melancholia they do it with an honest passion that is just impossible to resist. Even better they do it flawlessly well."
- Bubblegum Slut
"The finest thing ever to emerge from Stoke-on-Trent music scene, this band deserves to be heard"
