Hot Press reviewed God Says in their 13th July 08 issue.

"'God Says' opens with a great meaty pounding guitar riff, before a measured pause for some Jesus & Mary Chain-lite vocals. After that, it's a case of lather, rinse and repeat, no bad thing in this case, serving to reaffirm the listener's faith in simple, sub-three-minute guitar pop. Top marks." by Stephen Errity.



‘”God Says” is a 2.5 minute powerhouse of a record … as infectious as an STD and as much fun as getting it…Top Class.’ BoxSetGo



“God Says plays a bit the Pixies, fronted by Mark Kozelek…if God spoke like this, more people would listen. In a word, Heavenly.” David Roy, Irish News



".a blistering burst of Undertones punk guitar and Morrisseyesque vocal that'll have you jumping round the room like a kangeroo on a pogo stick." The Devil Has the Best Tuna

Our debut album 'Loosely based on Fiction' was released in December 2008 to much critical acclaim. We've just released our second album, 'Balance', with early reviewers receiving it as a joyous record of intricate detail and poised beauty. We will be promoting this release throughout 2010 with shows and various film projects.
