PRESS / QUOTES
"Theories To Suit Facts is a barnstorming mix of grainy Pearl Jammy vocals, surging electronica, crunchy guitars and cracking tunes. Very more-ish, especially the ultra-fine Tales of the Unexpected." - ..Graeme Thompson (of The Word Magazine)..

"'Freefall’ is a slice of aural MDMA with sounds that bring to mind Jean Michel Jarre dosed up on Relentless. ‘Pretty Please’ whacks a heavy dose of fuzz on the guitar and coupled with a cascading bassline the result is something like a more English Pixies." - ..Dave Urwin - Live Music Scene, Review of Theories to Suit Facts..

"I heard - I like" - ..Paul Ryder, Big Arm / Happy Mondays..

"They would trounce other bands that, on the face of it, are sharing similar ground in the "guitars and electronics" side of the music scene; most notably Bloc Party and the Klaxons should be looking over their shoulders around now..." - ..The National Gig Guide..
