  • Sounds Like

    Loose-lipped faux sincerity smashed! .. .. OR .. .. A sudden, crippling onset of halcyon drenched nostalgia. .. .. OR .. .. A clandestine Morris Dancer's unexpected anxiety attack .. .. OR .. .. The ominous intentions of a sombre, clouded mind .. .. OR .. .. An alcoholic King's doubloon purse string, thrummed by grubby fingers .. .. OR .. .. A single tear falling into a cup of tea .. .. OR .. .. Foolishly mounted pedestals' final fatal downfall .. .. OR .. .. Dear, sweet incredulity......(Nothing is sacred, Question Everything!) .. .. OR .. .. The joys of imperfection's idiosyncratic beauty .. .. OR .. .. "Folk beat 3 piece from York specialising in the finest songwriting and melody. You'll probably not see another bunch move their fingers so quickly and chirp so fluently. This is not just your average local indie band, these guys posses some excellent folk beat tracks with thought and dialect.".. -BARFLY .. .. OR .. .. "They have a song called Passport To Paradise, its a song that makes you want to be a better person, this will be the last night of their UK tour" .. -Extensions Of Vaudeville .. .. OR .. .. "An impressive first offering certainly, perhaps best enjoyed people-watching in a park in a cider-induced haze.".. -Sandman magazine ..
