"... as sweet as they come, and deserves to be massive." Clem Bastow - Inpress
"**** (four stars)" Lee Van Tram - Rolling Stone
"It's an absolute corker." Nick Clarke - Beat Magazine
"Dismiss the beginner's luck - Melbourne duo Winterpark is out to prove that it's something special." Brooke Salisbury - Drum Media
"There has been a relative explosion of so-called electro pop acts in Australia recently. Some are very good, and some are very, very bad. Winterpark clearly fall into the 'very good' category, blending a mixture of swirling nu-gaze pop with tight electro beats and programming, emotive vocals and often beautiful melodies."
"Winterpark take various influences and build upon them in such a way as to come up with something new and inspired, something that stands out from the pap we are currently having forced upon us." Tim Burke - Inpress
"Hooked could be the lost contribution to the Sixteen Candles soundtrack" Craig Mathieson - SMH
"The band are very good at what they do" Roger Nelson - Inpress
"From Hewitt's rich sweet vocals through to the ambient, cinematic backing tracks, there is much to like here." David Butler - Canberra Times
"Swirling opener Planes and the droning So Far, are carried along by vocal harmonies recalling My Bloody Valentine's halcyon days..." Denis Semchenko - Rave Magazine

Your right about me being off the Myspace bandwagon for some time, but that's only coz I've not needed the best gig guide ever invented. I've spent last year traveling in in form or another but now I'm back, gig hunting is back on the cards (even if money is an issue). I just can't believe it's another month away, dunno if I can accept that. Surely we have to catch up b4 then;)
