Gaffa “…The band’s timing was absolutely superb, and the chemistry between Rama and George was a pleasure being a spectator. The heavy drums and the piercing guitar cultivated melodic love. Definitely a band to well could bear to hear again,..”.

Leicester Mercury “cast a bewitching spell as each tune unfolded in an unforced, languid haze”

The Line Of Best Fit “a gentleman blessed with an imposing baritone halfway between Bill Callahan and Absentee”
John Kennedy XFM Radio “FANTASTIC!”

Tom Robinson on FU’s ‘A Love Like Infinity’ : “It starts out like vintage Tyrannosaurus Rex then develops into a meanering lofi epic that’s not quite like anything else I’ve heard this year.
