North East Music mag NE Volume recently reviewed our debut EP, [redacted]. Here's a snippet: "Everything kicks off with the first of four-tracks, titled ‘Guernica’. This track, in particular, has been well-received locally, even finding its way onto the playlist of BBC Radio Newcastle. With unassuming melodies and composition superior to much of the usual chart hits, it would be easy to imagine this track making an impact on the national airwaves."
