  • ‘This is dirty and dark country with a hellish bent and twisted and rakish sense of louche poetic rancour.” It is possessed of an irresistible spark, and enduringly wry, dry and pallid beauty. Hugely Recommended’ Time Out Nov 2000
  • ‘Not since the Honky-Tonkin’, mid-80s hey day of the Mekons has a British band embraced C&W with such intelligence and vim’ MOJO Dec 2000
  • ‘Hell fire stomps, its rough-hewm guile makes for a highly original blast of air’ Uncut Feb 2001
