REVIEWS



'The tightest, cleverest, and most emotional indie music you’re ever likely to find.'



RedHotVelvet.co.uk



'There's no air in this band! Tight as fuck.Mozart Punk.'

TOM MEIGHAN,

KASABIAN



'Their mix of alternating dual-guitar lines, cherubic vocals and uber-tight drummingshowcase their intelligent songwriting perfectly.I have to admit these people are my new favourite band with their moody raise the roof choruses and spikey riffage.

It escapes me how they're supporting a relatively small act and not headlining gigs at the academy alongside bands such as the Guillimots who i'd consider one of their contemporaries.

As if to show exactly how much thought goes into their live set they ended with a bass & percussion jam, a piano now added to the samples creating a beautiful din.'

BBC, LIVE @ MOLES CLUB

(Blood Red Shoes Support), Bath



'They have some romantically poetic lyrics and melodies but they add a stinging heaviness to them with some explosive riffs.Like with any good rollercoaster or action film you are always left waiting to see what the next part's going to be like.'

John Hoad, P.i.X MAGAZINE, LIVE @ DUBLIN CASTLE,

London



'Far From The Dancemake an impact from the second they hit the stage… possibly the best voice I have heard in an unsigned act …



…there is nothing out of place. The band look and sound the part reeling off quality songs after quality song with plenty of gusto and presence. Having all the right ingredients in place FarFromTheDance must be going places. To witness an unsigned act of this quality is highly spiriting. If there are any examples to go by then some really ought to give up now
