Press Clippings
'A rare beast, melodic pop with bite! ...they share Paul Heaton’s knack for sneaking barbed social commentary into the most innocent sounding of melodies’
- Vive Le Rock

'jangly guitars with ascerbic political lyrics. Its' refreshing to hear such venom in C86 clothing'
- Sheffield Phohographic Corporation

'The band champion the poor and downtrodden in their lyrics... it's a shame more bands aren't telling tales of what it means to live in the UK in 2010'
- Sounds XP

'lovely, witty guitar pop... exactly what's missing from British pop music nowadays (reminiscent of Edwyn Collins and Orange Juice)'
- Cactus Killer Radio

'twee music meeting Americana on English Country Gardens... this strange little band from UK will entertain your domestic afternoons with their sweet and sour fantasy-pop'
- Sleep Walking Blog

'a slo-fi post-Tramway burn of insight, retrospection and perhaps a little latent Pastelism. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised by the quality though, given WMD Paul Towler's connection with the Haywains.'
- In Love With These Times

'lilting Americana lite... a musical landscape packed with everyman douchebags content to witter on about real life's tedium'
- Venue Magazine

'jangling C-86 styled sugar pop that to these ears sounds not unlike a match made in twee pop heaven between the 14 Iced Bears and the Orchids'
- Losing Today

'simple guitar pop songs that float nicely in and out of alt-country territory. I've complained before about the lack of UK bands dabbling in this genre, so it's always nice to find some willing to give it a shot'
- Another Form of Relief

'songs of pure country-glazed jangle and heart felt pining. Orange Juice meets The Byrds.'
- Closet Trekkie

'a twisted take on guitar-pop, mixing jangly guitars with a hybrid of alt-country, dark brooding lyrics and no-frills charm - their roots are in 'C86' era indie-pop having previously founded 80's twee-pop veterans The Haywains'
- Moles Bands

'Hank Williams Saved My Life is melodic, catchy country feel pop. Does it work? Well yes it does. We love this jangly tune, it is far too catchy for its own good. Play it in the car and you will find yourself grinning and singing along. Brilliant!'
- Bristol Rock

'you will not find a better example of the arcane art of guitar pop anywhere on iTunes. This collection of bittersweet happy-sad slices of real life will put tears on your cheeks, a smile on your face and a tap in your toes'
- Organaon/iTunes

'don't think of the American Southwest, more like Southwestern UK, what's tumbling through the air are fine pop melodies – smart, fun, sometimes melancholy little songs'
- Erasing Clouds

'a melodious, hook drenched indie leaning pop group... more than just a gig - an event! Cracking stuff!'
- Wunderbar Listings

'The Westfield Mining Disaster c’est à la fois Billy Bragg en tongs et chaussettes, Morrissey qui joue à la pétanque mais en faisant un peu la tête quand même, Micheline Dax qui siffle A bomb in wardour street, bref, de quoi passer l’été en beauté, sans s’ennuyer inutilement…'
- Attica Webzine
