Sounds Like:



"Frisky Ska Guitar Jolt-pop with regulation Reggae influence."
NME

"Have you been injured at work?
Have you become desperate due to incessant rain?
For the answer to these and other ailments,
check out The Talks energetic, melodic and reggae flavored sound".
THE FLY MAGAZINE

"Another act you really owe it to yourself to know sooner than later are THE TALKS. A reggae/ska/indie band from Hull that are a whole lot better than that sounds. About as far away from the Ordinary Boys opportunistic take on 80’s Ska as you could get, this is genuine, edgy and refreshing – doesn’t sound like anyone else whilst not sounding unfamiliar – a very, very good sign indeed."
ICA MAGAZINE, Scotland

"The Sound of The Talks is very distinctive, Combining the raw, smashing power of punk with grinding rhythms of reggae and the energy of ska plus a good dose of pop sensibilities. but don't be fooled into thinking of the insipid Ordinary Boys and the like: We are talking about the real deal"..
SANDMAN MAGAZINE

"As someone who spent many a gig hanging around the jewel on the Humber with such eighties turns as 3 Action, The Gargoyles and of course The Housemartins, I was delighted to see The Talks in concert and realise that the flame of good music still burns bright in Hull..."..
