“I cannot recommend going to see them enough. These guys are definitely a band you should catch before they make it big” – Tom Rodgers, The Yorker- 27^th Oct 07

“Blimey! Is it really possible that so much authentic-sounding, blues-infused, southern-fried ROCK can rise from the back streets of York? Honestly, your correspondent can't believe how good this sounds - with the raw feel and virtuosity of Free, Bad Company and Steve Miller brought bang up to date a la Supersuckers and Young Heart Attack. A breath of fresh air!”
