So damned brilliant - BEN DEILY (Varsity Drag/The Lemonheads)

Peachfuzz make me want to stomp my feet and throw booze all over my chest - SwanseaCollective

If you like The Replacements, Husker Du and Soul Asylum, you will love Peachfuzz. This band have got the songs. They will be on my 'ones to watch' list - Uberrock.com

This is a really good album. It reminds me of a US alt-pop band called Gin Blossoms who wrote really good guitar pop songs. Peachfuzz are a bit more gruff than Gin Blossoms, but they write their songs in a very similar way; huge verses, huge choruses, huge singalongs and there's not a hint of cheese anywhere. 'Big Calm', 'Where Do I Stand?' and 'Talk Me Down' are all excellent songs with driving basslines and catchy riffs abound. I'd seriously recommend anyone reading this who likes good old fashioned pop music to check Peachfuzz out - this comes highly recommended. 4/5 - Punktastic

If I’m honest I wasn’t sure what to expect when the 2008 Peachfuzz album – So Here We Are Tonight -arrived at my humble abode. However for me, the title was a good starting point. It’s storylike, and the album certainly didn’t disappoint when it came to stories. Teenage-style angst, the terrible reality of adult life, and broken hearts are themes that seem to run throughout the album. The lyrics are gut-wrenching and heartfelt, almost poetic if you read them alone without sound and if I’m truthful (which I always am), I was expecting the album to be a little sombre and possibly even a little depressing. But the boys of Peachfuzz (Adam Jones, Lewis Kreft and Jon Roche) have managed to skilfully combine their musical and lyrical ability to create something that is catchy and uplifting – or “indie power pop” as PLUGGED IN magazine recently referred to the Peachfuzz vibe. The album moves from wild nights out and the resultant lonely emptiness in Lost Weekend, to the disappointment of adulthood in Deep Blue Dream, to the beautiful soulful lyrics of a heartbroken (and slightly jealous and stalker-like, methinks) dumpee in my favourite track, Cease to Turn. The guitar riffs will stick in your head all day, you’ll be practising the harmonies in the car, and it’s quite possible that you’ll find yourself playing this album ridiculously loudly in your bedroom, jumping on the bed and playing air guitar. I’ve been reading lots of comparisons between Peachfuzz and bands like Teenage Fanclub and The Ramones, but I’d like to quell those – Peachfuzz are just Peachfuzz. They’re not like anyone else, and they certainly don’t need to be. I don’t want them to be, I want them to carry on producing this uplifting, memorable, but full-of-substance music. So Here We Are Tonight is a total result of an album, and I can just imagine that a Peachfuzz live gig is amazing – I’ll be looking out for them in my hometown and I really think you should, too - LUCY CROPPER Altsounds

I’m going to say this simply. This is excellent! Indie power pop with good lyrics that make you swing up and down with emotions, with hints of Idlewild meeting with Teenage Fanclub. Deep Blue Dream and Lost Weekend are the standout tracks for me but the difficult part of saying that is they all really stand out. Can’t wait to see this Bridgend trio live.

I find this such an incredibly uplifting and revitalising album. It's all done with such passion. I like it very much. They're bound for great things - Adam Walton, BBC Radio

A ragged glorious collision of Teenage Fanclub harmonies and Crazy Horse guitar heroics underpinned by a rhythm section so jackhammer tight you couldn't get a cigarette paper between 'em - Scribblezine

This is how power-pop should be done folks. Everything Stereophonics could have been. Everything we miss about The Replacements - Mass Movement

More of this fucking aceness please - Adam Walton, BBC Radio

What Adam Walton said - Radio Free Bakersfield

Life ain't always fair. Girls break your heart, dreams don't always pan out and some of your greatest experiences often arrive while you are still too young to fully appreciate them. On the flip side, there's plenty to feel good about. The Peachfuzz boys know this only too well. They take stories and emotions that are common to us all and wrap them up in slabs of glorious, chunky guitar, choruses that are almost viral in consequence and harmonies that drag your attention away from the mundane. Across ten tracks of cracking guitar pop, Peachfuzz demonstrate that they can orchestrate narrative songwriting on a universal level - ten beautifully composed tales about facing up to the big bad world, all told with a gleam in the eye. The songs connect and wash over you in warm fuzzy waves to leave a big smile on your face. Opener Lost Weekend lays out the Peachfuzz manifesto with an irresistible riff that kicks a path through to fellow rockers like Where Do I Stand and Sinbad. More thoughtful tracks like Cease To Turn and The Girl Who Kissed The Sun get a smoother sound while keeping the throttle open on the guitar thrust that defines this album. Comparisons have already been made with Teenage Fanclub and Big Star, and you can add The Ramones and The Beatles to the mix, too. But make no mistake, Peachfuzz have a buzz about them that is entirely of their own making. So Here We Are Tonight is a soundtrack for life. LIAM RONAN Mass Movement
