"I like the sound of these guys. Lots of good things in this track - the voices, the tempo changes, the good ol' fashioned soft/loud dynamic. Worth sussing out more I reckon."
-Richard Kingsmill, Triple J.
"I like this song a lot. Good vocals, interesting use of time, a band to keep your eye on."
-Scott Dooley, Triple J.
"Heart, energy and attack - what a good song! It starts with a blast and then settles in ('Take Me Out' style). The distinct vocal makes me a believer, and the minimal guitar soaked in reverb works a treat.
-Zan Rowe, Triple J.
