PRESS:

I just really like the juxtaposition of the sort of dismissiveness and confidence rubbing-up against each other... a clattering pop-noise that weaves the singer along - Steve Lamacq, Radio 1

Really, really exciting - Huw Stephens, Radio 1

The sort of lo-fi attack jam that Kurt Cobain would have creamed over - Rocksound

'Forever On The Edge' not only boasts a loveable melody so missed from the chord-driven NME crowd , but also a contender for the best lyric of the year... Lo-fi indie rock at its best: 8/10 - drownedinsound.com
