Debut single ‘Number 1’ was described as “Reverb-splattered, riotous guitar melodies and supercharged vocals with jangle-pop primacy” (Line of Best Fit) and received extensive play from Marc Riley via BBC6Music, BBC Introducing and BBC Radio Scotland.


Line of Best Fit: “Mining a daydream seam of infectious songwriting in distortive, unfettered fashion akin to that of Teenage Fanclub and The Primitives.”

The Skinny: “a welcome slice of retro sounding jangly pop”

God Is In The TV: “hooks you in like a standout summer anthem, full of gorgeous fuzz and melody, to make something quite beautiful.”

For The Rabbits: “a perfect amalgam of clattering and jangling, as stabs of shoegazing guitars, collide with an almost primal, Velvet Underground like drum-beat.&#34;

Snack Mag: “An instant Scottish pop classic”
