Reviews:
...”When the band rock out in a ’Four Minute Mile’-era The Get Up Kids way they’re sublime and among the best UK bands around."-punktastic.com
...”Whilst the rest of the nation seem to be busying themselves with superficial songs about nights on the town and annoying siblings and partners, Portman have quietly given us a truly masterful album which will touch more than just your eyes and ears... Producer, synthist and programmer, James K. Sanford proves to be a feather in the cap for Portman, he is a man not afraid of chaos, but knows how to reign it all in at a moments notice, and his remix for final track “The Last Broadcast” is truly exceptional.”-strangeglue.com
..."Portman’s greatest strength on From Here To Your Eyes And Ears is putting together numbers that careen from acoustic ballad to strident indie rock and back again in the same song without feeling overly experimental or disconnected."-faceinthecrowd.wordpress.com

Reviews:
...”Painfully catchy."-Luke Leighfield-A Short Fanzine About Rocking
...”It is the space in between lost and found in which Lost On Campus shines with charming insecurity and lyrics you will want to scribble all over your next notebook.”-Big Cheese Magazine

The helpless must be protected, and those with no voice of their own must be spoken up for. Those who prey on our children rely on silence, and it must not be allowed to continue! So thank you for adding your voice to ours, together we will grow louder.... AND WE WILL BREAK THE SILENCE!!! Beth and The Team @Rock Against Child Pornography and Abuse Ireland.
Thanks for the comment man! Glad you liked what you heard at the gig the other night! I added you as you were on The Maple State's friend list and I was hoping to hit some of their friends who may have seen us at the gig the other night like yourself. It's great to get any feedback from people who haven't seen us before. Would love to hear your thoughts on the EP once you've had a good listen....many thanks for taking the time out to get in touch...much appreciated! Jay

Hey man. Tour is going good thanks, Southampton was amazing, there was a queue of about 20 kids when we arrived at the venue! London wasn't great, but I've got high hopes for Manchester tonight. New song is working well, the samples add a lot to it. Hope everything is good with you? x
