The Hopetoun Hotel, Surry Hills, Friday 28 September 2007
"[...] And on to the main event: The Mares... There has been a bit of hype generated around them but I wasn't particularly versed in their music. I must admit I think I was a bit of a convert because I loved their punchy, to-the-point grunge rock; it was ambient and encompassing. I like it when a band gets to the point quickly.
It’s nice to see a bit of grunge making it on the indie dominated scene – to be honest I’m getting over what I call the Sydney indie saturation at the moment. I have a feeling that this just may be the band to shake it all up. I look forward to seeing these guys move through the ranks..."

‘New Day’ Single Review
"You can almost hear the skinny leg jeans and stripey shirts. It's wiry indie, with the necessary angles of dance and rock that some seem to think so new. But The Mares do it with some style, and with ‘New Day’ - which they explain as just one of those songs of 'new infatuation and the giddy feelings of love', which appear to show some pop traditions are appreciated by the new kids - show they can make it catchy as well. Includes the utterly splendid ‘Motherfuck’ song as well. You know the one I mean."

What some folks are saying about our EP...
'...Delicously mental...' Inpress
'...Wonderfully unhinged...' BMA
'... this darkly infectious band is one to keep an eye on as they inevitably rise up through the ranks of the Aussie music scene.' Time Out Magazine
'...Potential for breakout. Singer Jaime Hanson. Tortured soul. Amazing voice. Screech like Black Francis. Croon like punk Thom Yorke. Or Jake Shears. Nasal like nobody else. Look, just good okay...' Rave Magazine
'Go out and buy it. Listen to it at least 50 times and you’ll never get it out of your head. Like me, you will be totally wowed.' thedwarf.com.au
'Indie and pop collide in play...' 9MSN
'Iggy Pop meets Frank Black' - Drum Media
