“With each successive release their brand of Black Rebel-esque rock ‘n’ roll has slowly grown and matured. Starting as a bit of a mish mash of influences and gradually maturing into a well-honed sharp pointy stick of stoner-cool-as-fuck-rock… they can back up all the tight rock licks in their recordings with enough swagger to make Vince Noir self conscious.” Mark Spillane, Who The Hell Are They, 09.06.09
“Their sound matched the moody expressions on their faces and took the audience into an addictive circular spin.” Holt, FasterLouder, 08.06.09
“Motivated Stoner…It’s oxymoronic, of course, but a fitting descriptor for the groove ladden track [The Happy Peacock], which sounds a bit like The Vines jamming with Fu Manchu… on pot.” Darren Levin, Mess + Noise, 03.05.09
“The Scotch Of Saint James delivered on their promise that their new stuff was going to be more involved, interesting and adventurous – The Happy Peacock being all these things and more.” Mike Wafer, XPress Magazine, Issue 1158, 23.04.09
"Their sound is currently bigger and better than ever, and pretty much every song in their set could stand on it's own as being a killer single." Perri Bastian, XPress Magazine, 29.01.09
"Songwriting skills alone make this one of the year's best releases, but considering the band's musicianship and knack for brooding moodiness (insert Thomas Thomas) it's almost untouchable." Mike Wafer, XPress Magazine, 13.11.08
"Thomas Thomas is undoubtedly one of the best songs doing the pub rounds in this little town and appears bigger and better than ever. Closer Oliver is another highlight" Matthew Hogan, Drum Media, Single Of The Week, 06.11.08
"Emphasis on melody has clearly been reinforced in the new ethos and songwriting has stepped up a notch to bring the band’s sound into clearly more unique and accessible territory" Ben Swan, FasterLouder.com 30.10.08
"Pickins / Scotch night is always a good one… and, based on tonight’s performance, it looks like that will follow on with them through their name change, as some things never change."
Amy Vinicombe, Xpress Mag, Issue 1133, 30.10.08
"Hip, hip, hip lashings of meaty riffs and energetic drumming!" Clem Bastow, Inpress, 16.07.08
"The existence of Long Gone Midnight and [The Scotch Of Saint James] is a bit like a pair of hot twin sisters in that you'ld pick a favourite if you had to, but you'd just as soon get stuck into both of them." Mike Wafer, XPress Magazine, 17.07.08
"As it stands, the door bitches say 'you just missed an awesome act' if you show up after their set, and they repeatedly secure support slots for every genre of music to emerge from the swamps of Perth.
Clearly, these 'chaps' are robots in disguise." FasterLouder 17.06.08
"[The Scotch Of Saint James] were no doubt one of the best bands of the day...the band know how to work a crowd and they've got the skills to back up their prancing." Drum Media/ In The Pines 2008 Review 24.04.08
