"...Pop-rock brilliance...Combinging the atmospheric indie sound of Minus The Bear, the layered vocal assault of Taking Back Sunday and melody driven Jimmy Eat World style choruses, TYH are a delight...There are so many hooks that make them stand-alone...Sometimes cute, sometimes arrogant and often brilliant this debut is one of the strongest of its genre in a long long time..."

"...The UK's answer to The Starting Line..."
Punktastic
"And Jimmy Eat World’s influence continues to grow, this time feeding into the melodic emotional rock of Three Years Hiding. They don’t steal from JEW wholesale, though, it’s just a part. Minus The Bear and early Brand New are also key points of reference, in the way TYH go about creating mood and ambience, such as on ‘”…We’re Running Out Of Time”’ and ‘Blackout’s’ post-rock undercurrents (Propping up killer pop songs).

"...it's to their credit that it succeeds in taking in a variety of influences without sounding like a tour of their record collections..."
