“What this band are doing is remarkable. They have reinvented rock music for the modern age without compromising to trends or formulae.” – Malcolm Dome.
“Golden Tongue is as simple in its execution as it gets, but it is also as infectious as it gets.Equally as infectious–and impressive–is the finger-clicking ‘Sneakin’ Around’ which is only a few degrees of separation away from a Harry Styles song or if you prefer, a ballsier Harry Styles. Either should be on wall-to-wall rotation on US mainstream radio.” – Devil’s Gate Music.
