Sounds Like

"Our featured unsigned band of the week - this is excellent. It's the sort of demo that makes me want to get up on a morning. It says on their website that they're looking for a drummer. If I had any sense of rhythm and was approximately 22 years younger, I'd probably apply!" Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio One).

"Another awfully young, awfully good band. They sit somewhere in between that emo-ish indie fightpop sound and eighties poppy Cure-ish indie… I think it's early days, but I deffo, deffo want to keep an eye on this lot. You should too." Marsha Shandur (XFM).

"My current favourite tune comes from young duo The Small Screen Light Show... I have a thing for the raw, for the rough and for the ready & TSSLS are certainly raw, certainly rough & they're getting very close to being ready. This pair showed enough potential in 2007 to make me think they'll push on big style in 2008." James Clarke (BBC Radio Newcastle).

"The Small Screen Light Show are why we love music. They are what makes the heart flutter with excitement. They are a pure, undistilled wall of glorious noise that a million other bands wish they were, but couldn't even come close to matching. You need this band in your life. They are possibly the best band you haven't heard yet. Check them out and be amazed." NARC.

"They knock out a well beefy slab of indie rock with influences along the lines of Biffy Clyro, The Vines and The Cure and execute their feisty tunes with due aplomb." The Crack.

"They strip their heartfelt vagaries of any hint of macho camouflage, letting their stomachs flutter and their tongues get tied... a band capable of celebrating heartbreaking anomie without being over earnest." Metro.
