Sounds Like	“I was completely blown away, I think this is really rather impressive... Superb stuff... Global super-stardom is just around the corner... Ones to watch." John Kennedy - XFM "Excellent! A really exciting new band... really promising. We think they're ace." Huw Stephens - BBC Radio 1 "Beautiful stuff! This lyrically scathing track (Tearing Your Heart Out) from Leatherhead rockers The Special Relationship has that special zing, that indescribable pop energy that so many bands attempt to hit but ultimately fall well short of. Get them signed up now industry schmos! What a chorus!" Jon Hillcock - XFM / New Noise Podcast "Quite possibly the most exciting thing to happen to alternative music since the formation of Pavement. For once you can justly believe the hype." Al Murray - OIB Records "Even on first listen their songs sound clearly different from each other; each a well-defined gem of such quality that all the tracks they played were like the big hit-single finales of other up-and-coming bands." Rocklouder.co.uk "All the right bods [John Kennedy, Huw Stephens] are sitting up for these fine fellas, and a cursory listen shows why…intelligent jazzbo pop that could show Guillemots the door and usher in a new pop fragility quite needed round these ‘ere parts….XTC circa ‘Mummer' would be a good way in. And The Velvets third album…and who amongst you recalls Murray The Hump whilst wiping away a tear or two….Fine stuff." Bugbearbookings.com "An amazing band in its infancy, still in the underground but surely on the cusp of breaking into massive mainstream success. The Special Relationship. Remember that name if you want to listen to a band with real substance." Checkoutgigs.com "Kooba could say they’re a magic blend of the Pixies and Modest Mouse, but Kooba WILL say “But oh they’re so much more”." Kooba Radio TSR @ The Pearce Entertainment Studio Add to My Profile TSR Recording 'Tearing Your Heart Out' @ The Pearce Entertainment Studio with production team 'Richard Wilkinson and 'Emo' Dan Morrison (The Magic Numbers, Jamie T, The Holloways).
