FROM THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM WHICH IS OUT NOW – LISTEN HERE
“The standout Go (Hold On Tight) moves in slinky fashion before unfurling a gigantic, irresistible chorus; You’re A Chameleon channels Suede and the closing Falling Through takes almost seven minutes to tell its beguiling tale, as Donny McCaslin’s saxophone wails appealingly in the background. There’s more to come here, hopefully” (★★★★)MOJO
“There’s something of Ashes to Ashes in Go (Hold On Tight) and a touch of Aladdin Sane in Everybody Loves A Hero. But the songs also have enough of their own, dark-edged character to take the whole thing beyond pastiche”
(★★★★) The Times
“All killer. All star.” (★★★★) RNR Magazine
“…merges classic rock, art rock, and powerful melodies/harmonies. It features many David Bowie collaborators including guitarists Earl Slick and Mark Plati. ‘Should’ve Known Better’ rockets to catchy heights. ‘Go (Hold on Tight)’ spotlights Plati’s baritone guitar and notably reflects Bowie’s experimental bent. ‘Feel It’ is a resonant rocker.” –VINTAGE GUITAR
“Their sound is distinctively Bowiesque: crunchy power chords leading the way into a supremely catchy tune whose infectious hook will immediately have fans finding parallels with their late idol.” – Louder Than War
